Parentage. We do not know the name of her parents or if they had any royal connections.
Marriage. Neni married KingSobekhotep III and held the title "King's Wife".[2] She did not hold other known titles, and the title King's Wife may apply to a second rank wife. Her husband may have usurped power and ruler of a short time, meaning that she and her daughter were given royal titles. Her mother-in-law was King's MotherIuhetibu.
Children. Her two daughters wereIuhetibu Fendy and Dedetanqet. Her daughter Iuhetibu Fendy wrote her name in cartouche indicating she was the royal heiress of her father.
