Muballiṭat-Šērūa

Muballitat-Sherua was a princess of Assyria, daughter of Ashur-uballit I.

Biography Muballitat-Sherua was a daughter of the Assyrian king Ashur-uballit I (reigned 1363 and 1328 BC). Her father was the first to adopt the title king of Assyria. His death was later avenged by his own grandfather, the Assyrian king. Since Kara-hardash had been killed in the rebellion, the Assyrians placed on the Babylonian throne a certain Kurigalzu, who may have been Burnaburiash's son or grandson.

There is debate over whether Muballit married Burna-Buriash or his son, that is Kara-ḫardaš, as the historical sources don't agree. One ancient source (Chronicle P) calls the son of Muballitat-Sherua (and Karaindash) Kadashman-Harbe, The other primary source (the Synchronistic History), however, states that Kurigalzu was the son of Burnaburiash. Kadashman-Harbe, then, could be another name for Kara-hardash. Neither source records explicitly who was the husband of Muballitat-Sherua.
