| Libbāli-šarrat was wife of Ashurbanipal (668-631? or 627?) and is known from many texts. At the time when Libbāli-šarrat is only the wife of the crown prince Ashurbanipal (during the reign of Esarhaddon), a letter (SAA 16, no.28) from Šeru’a-etirat (Svärd 2012: 116), Ashurbanipal’s oldest sister reveals a degree of tension between the female members of the royal family. The daughter of king Esarhaddon writes a letter and complains that she (Libbāli-šarrat) does not write to her. She reminds the recipient that she has a higher rank than Libbāli-šarrat (Teppo 2005: 39). In addition, there is textual evidence that the queen had her own army (SAA 14, no.7, r.7-8: LÚ.GAL-ki-ṣir ša LÚ.A-SIG ša Mĺ.É.GAL (reign of Ashurbanipal, ca. 668-666 BC); SAA 06, no.329, r.13: LÚ.DIB-KUŠ.PA.MEŠ ša Mĺ.É.GAL (reign of Ashurbanipal, 660 BC). See Radner 2012: 692, footnote 5). | Libbāli-šarrat was wife of Ashurbanipal (668-631 or 627) and is known from many texts.
