Alluwamna


Alluwamna was a king of the Hittites in the 15th century BC. He might be a successor of Telipinu as his son-in-law, after the reign of Tahurwaili.

Family

Alluwamna married Harapšeki, daughter of Telipinu. Their son was Hantili II.

Reign

Alluwamna's reign is attested by a seal which identifies him with the title "Great King". As a son-in-law of Telepinu, Alluwamna would have been first in line for the throne. However, Tahurwaili banished him and his wife to Malitashkur, and so it is possible that he did not come to the throne right after Telepinu's death, but rather after the reign of Tahurwaili, first cousin of Telipinu
One text of Alluwamna records the granting of land to his son and likely successor Hantili II.
