Dynasty 16 (the minor Theban kings of the Hyksos era)

1650 BCE–1580 BCE · Second-Intermediate

A summary entry for a line of minor Theban kings who ruled Upper Egypt during the period of Hyksos domination (in Shaw's framework), poorly attested and largely list-only. They were eventually overshadowed by the more militant Dynasty 17, which would launch the war of liberation. The very definition of Dynasty 16 varies between scholars.
