Mulissu-mukannišat-Ninua

Mulissu-mukannišat-Ninua is the first queen that we know in Neo-Assyrian Period (Svärd 2012: 102). Her full title “queen of Ashurnasirpal, king of Assyria, (and) of Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, daughter of Aššur-nirka-da’’in, great cupbearer of Ashurnasirpal, king of Assyria” is best explained by assuming that she remained Mĺ.É.GAL after the death of Ashurnasirpal II (Damerji 2008: 82; Svärd 2012: 91). It means she was the queen of two Assyrian kings, Ashurnasirpal II and Shalmaneser III (Ascalone 2007: 265; Mattias Karlson, Early Neo-Assyrian State Ideology, Relations of Power in the Inscriptions and Iconography of Ashurnasirpal II (883-859) and Shalmaneser III (858-824), Upsala Universitet, PhD Dissertation, Upsala 2013, p.4). Her grave was found at Tomb III at Nimrud (Teppo 2005: 3; Damerji 2008: 82).
