Queen Henuttawy descended from Ramesses XI through her mother and became the principal wife of King Pinudjem I, a high priest of Amun who ruled Upper Egypt from Thebes. She was buried in the Royal Cache at Deir el-Bahri, which was discovered by chance in 1871 (on the circumstance of discovery see Aubert, Statuettes égyptiennes, pp. 139ff.). Her mummy indicates that she died around age 35.
