Alluwamna

1

Alluwamna was a king of the Hittites (Middle Kingdom) in the 15th century BC. He might be a successor of Telipinu as his son-in-law, after the reign of Tahurwaili.

Family

Alluwamna married Harapšeki, daughter of Telipinu. Their son was Hantili II.

Reign

Alluwamna's reign is attested by a seal (SBo I.86) named the Tabarna seal. As a son-in-law of Telepinu (married to his first-rank daughter Harapšeki), Alluwamna would have been first in line for the throne. However, Telepinu banished him and his wife to Malitashkur (see KUB 26:77), and so it is possible that he did not come to the throne right after Telepinu's death, but rather after the reign of Tahurwaili, first cousin of Telipinu One text of Alluwamna records the granting of land to his son and likely successor Hantili II.
