Meresankh & her mother

"She who Beholds the Horus & Seth"

Meresankh was the heiress-daughter of Hetepheres II & Crown Prince Kawab, children of Khufwy & Merityetes II. When renegade Hetepheres was finally done with her antics, she'd managed to disinherit all of her immediate family from the line of succession. Meresankh was left in a very awkward situation. It became up to her mother to finally make peace with the new king (usurper) and wed her daughter to him.

The marriage appears to have been a happy one. Meresankh became second wife, although continuing to assert her claims by her title "king's daughter" and "beholder of the horus and seth". As her father died before ascending the throne she was never a king's daughter, but a king's granddaughter. By Rekhaef she had more than six children. Some of their names were:
Nebemakhet (m), Shepsetkau (f), Dwa're (m), Niuserre (m), and Khenterka (m), besides several unnamed daughters.

She was also not content to remain in the background. Both her and her mother became prominent at court, on sculptures and inscriptions. Her eldest son would eventually become superior lector priest and vizier. While there is no proof for this hypothesis, her eldest daughter may have (if tradiition was followed) married Menkaure, as she would've been the next heiress.
Her son eventually married and had children of his own. Technically, he was heir to the throne - as was his children. They would never again be in line for the throne. They had grandma to thank for that!
