 Thutmose III Summary
The son of Thutmose II by a concubine named Ese (Isis), Thutmose III succeeded to the throne on the death of his father but was for many years kept in the background by his aunt Queen Hatshepsut.
Thutmose was very short, barely five feet (1.5m) tall, a fact not known to later historians until the discovery of his mummy in 1881.
