Ḫatenzuwa

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ḫatenzuwa is a landscape in Asia Minor with the capital of the same name, which under Ḫattušili III. the Hittite Empire was incorporated, with the Upper Mešedi (a high state office) Tudḫaliya played a decisive role. He was apparently called upon to help by the king after a series of defeats. Riemschneider thinks it is likely that this Tudḫaliya is identical with his son, who later became King Tudḫaliya IV . Other royal sons, such as Ḫattušili and Zida, also held this office.
