King Tutankhamun, known as The Boy King. The 12th king of the 18th Dynasty was only eight or nine years old at his succession. His father was Smenkhare. Tutankhamun was married to Ankhesenamon, the third daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. The Restoration Stele gives an account of his effort to stabilize the government and to restore the temples and honors of the old gods after the Amarna period. He paid the priest and palace staff from his own pockets.
