		Smendes (Smedes), who we believe founded the 21st Dynasty, ending the New Kingdom at the beginning of the Third Intermediate Period, is a very difficult individual with almost intractable origins and affiliations.
		Smendes is specifically described as being the one to whom Wenamun gave his letters of credence from Herihor, the High-Priest of Amun and a powerful general in the south.
		Smendes, together with Tentamun, are therefore shown to be of great importance in Egypt's Delta, equals at least of the High-Priest of Amun in the south.

		However, at this time Egypt was increasingly beset by a series of droughts, below- normal flood levels of the Nile, famine, civil unrest and official corruption -- all of which would limit the managerial abilities of any king.
		The power of the last pharaoh, Ramesses XI, grew so weak that in the south the High Priests of Amun at Thebes became the de facto rulers of Upper Egypt, while Smendes controlled Lower Egypt even before Ramesses XI's death.
		Smendes went on to found the 21st dynasty at Tanis.

	king Smendes
		Origins uncertain, perhaps of western desert nomadic origin ('Libyan') settled in Egypt.
		According to the literary composition known as the Tale of Wenamun, Smendes accepted de facto partition of Egypt with a 'Libyan' general named Herihor; Smendes was king of Egypt, but Herihor ruled Upper Egypt from Thebes, taking the title High Priest of Amun.
