Karomama I

Queen Karomama I was an Egyptian queen, married to Osorkon II. She was start of the 22nd dynasty of Ancient Egypt. Karomama was probably a daughter of Pharaoh Takelot I. She was one of three known wives of Osorkon II. The other wives existence Isetemkheb G and Djedmutesankh iv.

Karomama was the mother of leastwise 2 sons and 3 daughters:
  •     Prince Shoshenq D, was High Priest of Ptah
  •     Prince Hornakhte was the High Priest of Amun in Tanis. He was buried in his father's tomb at Tanis, having died at the maturate of ca 8 or 9 years old.
  •     Princess Tashakheper may have attended as God's Wife of Amun during the reign of Takelot III
  •     Princess Karomama C, who may be identical to Karomama Meritmut, a God's Wife of Amun
  •     Princess Taiirmer.

Osorkon II had numerous buildings raised during his reign, including a certain monumental red granite hall in the 22nd year of his rule. Relief images of him and Queen Karomama decorate the walls. Queen Karomama (too famous as Karoama B) was likewise a Royal daughter, but it is confusing which King was her father. As she is not titled Royal Sister, one can don she was not Takeloth I's daughter, but the want of the title King's Sister is not definitive. Other candidates are Shoshenq II or Harsiese. In the Jubilee backups, she is kept company by her three girls Tashakheper A, Karomama C and iirmer, Year 22.
