Who wears Horus, who wears Seth ( ancient Egyptian Rmnt-Ḥr. (W) -rmnt-Stẖ ) was an ancient Egyptian power title reserved for queens and granted them a special rank at court.
The title has been attested since the early 1st dynasty , where it only appeared in its individual components. The bearers of the title only called themselves “ Who bears Horus ” or “ Who bears Seth ”. From the Old Kingdom onwards , the individual titles merged to form the double title “ Who looks at Horus and Seth ”.
