AITAKAMA
ruler of Kadesh. Loyal of Egypt, his father was defeated and deposed
by the Hittite king Suppiluliuma I, and Aitakama was installed in
Kadesh as a Hittite vassal. He joined Aziru of Amurru in attacks on
Egyptian territory, yet he wrote an Amarna letter declaring his loyalty
to Egypt. Upon the death of his Hittite overlord, he broke this allegiance
but was assassinated by a son who returned to the Hittite
fold.
