Nebet (“Lady”) was created vizier during the late Old Kingdom of Egypt by Pharaoh Pepi I of the Sixth Dynasty,[1][2] who was her son-in-law (and possibly also her nephew).[3] She is the first recorded female vizier in Ancient Egyptian history; the next was in the 26th Dynasty.[4][5]
She was the wife of the nobleman Khui, who was overseer of the Pyramid City.[6]
Her daughters, the Queens Ankhesenpepi I and Ankhesenpepi II were, respectively, the mothers of the Pharaohs Merenre Nemtyemsaf and Pepi II.
Her son Djau, who had a tomb in Abydos became vizier for his nephews, the pharaohs.[7] She is mentioned in his tomb.
Vizier Nebet was a contemporary of Weni the Elder.[6]
