History

Inyotef III defended the enlarged kingdom his predecessor left him, and fought off the Herakleopolitan forces in Abydos. It does not appear that the king either gained or lost territory during his reign to the kings of the 9th and 10th Dynasties (who ruled concurrently with him in other regions.) Of course, he only reigned about eight years, so his impact on history is minimal.

FOr the most part, Inyotef III was bets known as the father of Mentuhotep II, the uniter of Egypt in the 11th Dynasty. His relationship with his predecessor,Inyotef II is not known

Inyotef III is buried in a tomb in Thebes, next to Inyotef II, near Deir el-Bahri. It is near this site that his successor built his mortuary temple.
