Dynasty:

History:

He is mentioned several times in the inscriptions at Karnak Temple and is thought to have been the son of the high priest of Amon , Harsiese. The country was in an instability that the princes of the governors were ruling them, so Pedubaste I didn't find much resistance when he wanted to increase his influence and he started to form a royal family in the north in Bubastis. There was another king in Tanis ruling while Pedubaste I ruled a bigger part of it.
