Gilukhipa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Gilukhipa was daughter of Shuttarna II, king of Mitanni. For political reasons, she was sent to Kemet to join Amenhotep III in marriage. The Egyptian pharaoh made a special issue of commemorative scarabs on the occasion of his marriage to Gilukhipa, where he recorded that the princess was escorted by 317 ladies-in-waiting, women from the Mitanni king's royal palace. Gilukhipa became known as the "Secondary King's Wife," meaning she was secondary to Amenhotep III's other wife, Queen Tiye.
