Hanek

Hanek was the eldest of Erimem's handmaidens. She consorted with Mentu, Erimem's brother. She could not meet with him often as she knew Mentu's father, Pharaoh Amenhotep II, would not approve. She became pregnant with Mentu's child cut contact with him once she found out. When a conspiracy by the Nubian and Mitannites caused charges of treadon to be held against Hanek and her family, she hid herself in Erimem's chambers. She confessed the truth of her pregnancy to Erimem. Erimem gave her a gold statue of Horus and told her to flee from Thebes. The charges of treason against her family were later proven false. (PROSE: The Coming of the Queen) Hanek and Mentu's descendants survived into the 21st century, resulting in Ibrahim Hadmani. (PROSE: The Last Pharaoh)
