Ahmose called Turo

Who is Ahmose called Turo?

Ahmose called Turo was Viceroy of Kush under Amenhotep I and Tuthmosis I.

Ahmose called Turo was a son of Ahmose Si-tayit. Ahmose Turo's son Ahmose Patjenna would continue to serve the royal family during the reigns of Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III.

Turo served under Ahmose as Commander of Buhen. Later he served as King's Son under Amenhotep I. He served under Tuthmosis I according to inscriptions dating to year 1 and 3. Turo is mentioned in an inscription at West-Silsileh belonging to the vizier User. This inscription dates to the reign of Hatshepsut. This may be a posthumous mention of the Viceroy. It's possible there were family connections between Ture and User; Turo is shown leading Vizier Aa'methu's daughters in procession..
