The final foreign ruler

Khamudi was the last king of the 15th Dynasty. He is the only Hyksos ruler whose name is preserved with absolute certainty on the heavily damaged Turin Canon, which credits the entire dynasty with a total lifespan of 108 years. His reign ended with the violent expulsion of the Hyksos by the native Egyptian rulers of the 17th Dynasty from Thebes, who subsequently destroyed most of the Hyksos monuments and records.
