Smendes
Pharaoh of Egypt, 21st Dynasty
Years: 1110BCE - 1052BCE
Hedjkheperre Setepenre Smendes is the founder of the Twenty-first dynasty of Egypt and succeeds to the throne after burying Ramesses XI in Lower Egypt – territory which he controls.
His Egyptian nomen or birth name was actually Nesbanebdjed meaning "He of the Ram, Lord of Mendes" but it was translated into Greek as Smendes by later classical writers such as Josephus and Sextus Africanus.
