The Seventeenth Dynasty (Dynasty XVII)
Dates: 1580-1550 BCE. – Capital: Thebes
The Theban rulers of the Seventeenth Dynasty were contemporary with the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Dynasties, as Egypt was split into small Hyksos-ruled kingdoms. At the end of the dynasty, the Hyksos were defeated and the kingdom once again reunited, as Ahmose, the brother of Kamose, founded the Eighteenth Dynasty and with it the New Kingdom.
