....

Tuthmosis III had quite few wives:

• Merytre (-Hatshepsut), King’s Great Wife, King’s Mother. She was the daughter of the Divine Adoratrix Huy. Many of her representations were reused by her daughter in law Tiaa. Her disgrace under her grandson is suggested by the apparent non-use of her tomb in the Valley of the Kings (KV 42). Titles: Hereditary Princess (iryt-p`t), Sole One, Great of Praises (wrt-hzwt-w’tit), King’s Mother (mwt-niswt), Lady of The Two Lands (nbt-t3wy), King’s Wife (hmt-nisw), Great King’s Wife (hmt-niswt-wrt), God’s Wife (hmt-ntr), God’s Hand (djrt-ntr)
• Satiah Great Wife, King’s Wife and King’s Great Wife. She was the daughter of the royal nurse Ipu. Titles: King’s Wife (hmt-nisw), Great King’s Wife (hmt-niswt-wrt), God’s Wife (hmt-ntr).
• Nebtu King’s Wife. Represented in her husband’s tomb. Titles: King’s Wife (hmt-nisw)
• Neferure King’s Daughter, Great Wife and King’s Great Wife. She was the daughter of Hatshepsut and Thutmosis II. She was possibly married to Thutmosis III (her half brother). She may have been buried in the Wadi Qubbet el Qurud in Thebes. Titles: King’s Daughter (s3t-niswt), God’s Wife (hmt-ntr),
  Possibly: Great King’s Wife (hmt-niswt-wrt), Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt (hnwt-Shm’w T3-mhw).
  
• Menwi, Merti and Menhet. King’s Wives. Probably daughters of a Syrian chieftain. They shared a tomb in Thebes which is known for the treasures it contained. Titles: King’s Wife (hmt-nisw)
• Nebsemi: Queen mentioned on a fragment of a statue found in the funerary temple of Tuthmosis III. She may have been one of his minor wives. Titles: King’s Wife (hmt-nisw), King’s Wife, his beloved (hmt-nisw meryt.f)
