Hatshepsut was born in the 15th century BC and was daughter of Thutmose 1 and Aahmes. ... After the death of 1, Thutmose 2 ascended to the throne, though he died after ruling for only a few years. ... He had a son Thutmose 3 with a commoner Isis, who was inline to the throne but due to his young age Hatshepsut was permitted to rein co-regent with him.
There are many different interpretations of the relationship between Hatshepsut and Thutmose 3 and there is no exact conclusion as to how either of them really felt towards one another.
It is believed that Hatshepsut thought of Thutmose 3 as a bastard lacking of royal blood. ... The women had the purest royal blood but Hatshepsut and Thutmose 2 did not have any male descendent leaving Thutmose 3 the only one to reign. It is thought that there was conflict between Hatshepsut and Thutmose 3 as she appeared to usurp the throne by taking over main command when she became pharaoh. ...
There is hard evidence of the animosity between Thutmose 3 and Hatshepsut. To spite her Thutmose destroyed all of her statues, reliefs and shrines. He not only did this but hacked out her name from inscriptions and replaced them with either Thutmose 1, 2, or 3, so he could wash away many years of frustration. ... It is also likely she had a good relationship with him and was protecting him and his right to rule by claiming the co-regency. ...
Thutmose accompanied her all throughout the regency. ... This gave Thutmose an admiration for her.
