Ancient Egypt
      Kings ruled ancient Egypt throughout most of its history.  Some time between 1554 and 1304 B.C. the people began to call the king pharaoh.  The Egyptians believed each of their kings were the god Horus in human form.  Many Egyptian kings had several other wives, called lesser wives, at the same time.  Some chief wives gave birth to daughters but no sons, and several of those daughters claimed the right to the throne.
