==== Lugalshagengur ====

The first clearly attested ruler of Lagash is Lugalshagengur, whose name is attested only in a macehead inscription of Mesalim ([[http://cdli.ucla.edu/P222741|FAOS 05/2, Mesalim 1]]), the king of Kish who is known in connection with Lagash primarily through his arbitration in the protracted border war between that city-state and its neighbor Umma.
