	Userkare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Userkare ("The Soul of Ra is Strong") was the second king of the Sixth Dynasty and an usurper to the throne.
		Userkare may have been a royal claimant from the Fifth dynasty but he was certainly a rival to Teti for the throne.
		Since Manetho claims that Teti was killed by his bodyguards, theories of conspiracy have been put forward that Userkare was the leader of this conspiracy who then proceeded to seize the throne.

		Userkare ("The Soul of Re is Strong") was the second king of the Sixth Dynasty.
		Userkare may have been a surviving claimant of the throne from the Fifth dynasty and a rival to Teti for accessing the kingship.
		Since Manetho claims that Teti was killed by his bodyguards, theories of conspiracy have been put forward that Userkare was the leader of this conspiracy, but after a short reign was put out of office by the murdered king's son Pepi, the next king to be.

		There is some evidence that Userkare murdered his predecessor, Teti I.
		Certainly no pyramid complex was found associated with Userkare, which adds to the evidence that he was not a legitimate king.
		It is possible that Userkare was a claimant to the throne from the Fifth Dynasty and was actually a rival to Teti.

		Userkare's name means: "The Soul of Re is Strong" and is shown within a cartouche in the picture right.
		Since Manethoo claims that pharaoh Teti was killed by his bo- dyguards, theories of conspiracy have been put forward advo- cating that Userkare was the man behind, but after a short reign was put out of office by the murdered king's son Pepi, the next king to be.
		But there is a slight possibility that he Userkare became pharaoh because the crown prince was too young and left office when the heir had reached a proper age to rule himself.

	Userkare
		Userkare took the throne by force, and it has been suggested that he was one of the original heirs from the 5th Dynasty, and a long time rival to Teti, the preceding king.
		According to Manetho, Teti was killed by his bodyguards, an act possible staged by Userkare.
		His reign would be short, 2 or 4 years, as Pepi 1, son of Teti, had Userkare removed from power.

	Egyptian kings - Userkare Userkara
		Userkare is present with his name in a cartouche in the Abydos list (picture left) at position number 35 as the second ruler of the sixth dynasty.
		The Turin Canon has an empty row making space for his name at just the same place - between the Kings Teti and Pepy I. Manetho is for some reason very brief in his notes of dynasty six with only five pharaohs noted and has not mentioned Userkare in his book of Egyptian history.
		Userkare may have been a candidate put forward by members of the royal court or otherwise manoeuvring himself to office without being related to the royal bloodline.

	Pepi I Meryre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The throne name Meryre means "beloved of Re".
		Pepi was the son of Teti and needed the support of powerful individuals in Upper Egypt in order to put down an usurper named Userkare who had murdered his father and win back his rightful throne.
		These individuals would remain a strong presence in his court thereafter, and two of his queens were daughters of his Upper Egyptian vizier.

		he fact that name of Userkare appears between rule of Teti and his son Pepi I may indicate that there was either co-regency in times of Pepi’s minority or Userkare overtook the rule illegally.

		Also fact that in times of Pepi I name of Userkare’s vizier had been removed and the usurper’s cartouche was replaced.

	Teti
		The ancient histrian Manetho states that Teti was murdered by his own bodyguard - although no other evidence has been found to support this claim.
		Before the throne passed to Teti's son, Pepi I, there is vague references to another king - Userkare (he may have reigned very briefly before Pepi I came to power).
		Pepi I was the son of Queen Iput (Teti did have a second queen - Khuit, both queens were buried in smaller satellite pyramids next to the larger pyramid of Teti).

	Egypt High Priests' Tombs Uncovered (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The discovery of these high-ranking official tombs, dating from the sixth dynasty, could shed new light on what happened during that period, according to the archaeologist.Indeed, there are at least four missing pharaohs from that dynasty: the second one, plus two or three at the end of the dynasty.
		Not much is known about him and his short-lived reign, but his cartouche is mentioned on one of the most official Egyptian King-Lists from the Temple of Sethi I at Abydos.
		Or at least, where is the place that he has chosen to build a pyramid, since his reign lasted only for two or four years?" Dobrev said.

	Egyptian Pharaohs : Old Kingdom : Dynasty 6 : Pepi I
		When Pepi I took the throne, he had the name of his predecessor, Userkare, removed wherever he could find it (tombs, king lists, etc), which may indicate that there was a conflict over who should rule, and supports the theory that Userkare was a usurper and not a legitimate king.
		This conspiracy may have occurred in the 42nd year of Pepi's reign.
		Her accomplish may have been Rewer, a vizier of Pepi (since his name has been erased from the tomb, it is assumed he performed some heinous act), or, the conspiracy may have been the plot of Userkare's mother to return him to the throne.

		Part of the mysteries of Egypt were caused by the Egyptians themselves.
		In the case of Userkare, for example, it seems they went so far as to break into tombs and remove inscriptions that referred to him.
		The Egyptians were very good at removing embarrassing little details, events and people from their records.

		The someone else was apparently Userkare, and his claim to the throne seems to have had some legitimacy.
		On the other hand, there are indications that he was associated with the party that killed Teti, and that afterwards his inscriptions were subject of a rather thorough damnatio memoriae.
		If Userkare had one, or if he even had a burial plot staked out, we don't know.

		Userkara became the king after the death of Teti according to the list of Abydos and Turin (he is not mentioned in the tombs of the high officials in the cemetery of Teti or in the Saqqara list).
		Userkare had no relationship with Teti but he was one of the princes who gained power and tried to get rid of Teti.
		Therefore, we can now agree with what Manethos wrote: Teti was killed as part of a conspiracy.

	King's List: Pepi I
		He took the throne name Mery-Re (beloved of Re).
		It is unclear whether he had to wrest power back from the usurper Userkare, or whether his predecessor merely held the throne until Pepi was old enough.
		Pepi certainly defaced the cartouche of his predecessor, and it is notable that Userkare's name (strong is the ka of Re) is more in keeping with the sun worship which Unas (the last king of the Fifth Dyansty) and Teti had apparently rejected.
