   Note: Telepinu or (Telepinus) was the name of a king of the Hittites c. 1500 BC. At the beginning of his reign, the Hittite Empire had contracted to its core territories, having long since lost all of its conquests, made in the former era under Hattusili I and Mursili I -- to Arzawa in the West, Mitanni in the East, the Kaskas in the North, and Kizzuwatna in the South. Telepinu was able to recover a little ground from the Hurrians of Mitanni, by forming an alliance with the Hurrians of Kizzuwatna; however, with the end of his reign, the Hittite Empire enters a temporary "Dark Ages", the Middle Kingdom, lasting around 70 years, when records become too scanty to draw many conclusions. He was the Son-in-Law of Ammuna Titles Tabarna, Great King Name Hattic Queen Ištapariya, wife, first-rank sister of Huzziya I. She preserved the royal blood rather than Telipinu. She was killed in a political intrigue. See The Telipinu Proclamation. (See also Otten (1987) Abb. 3). Family Ammuna, son: Killed in a political intrigue sometime after the murder of his mother, Ištapariya. Harapšili, daughter: Also written Harapšeki. Married to Alluwamna. Both Alluwamna and Harapšili were banished for being associated with a man called Šanku, who had committed the crime of withholding a tribute of grain and wine. Tahurwaili is mentioned in this same fragmentary text (CTH #23). Telipinu becomes king: Huzziya I tried to have Telipinu and Ištapariya killed, but Telipinu received word of the attempt, drove out Huzziya and his accomplices, and took the throne. The death of Huzziya I and his five brothers: Huzziya I had five brothers whom Telipinu exiled to estates for supporting Huzziya when he attempted to kill Telipinu. During Telipinu’s reign, Huzziya I and his five brothers were killed by Tanuwa the Staff Bearer, supposedly without Telipinu’s knowledge. Tanuwa, Tahurwaili, and Taruhšu (all of whom had killed sons of Ammuna at one point or another) were condemned by the pankuš (the assembly), but Telipinu overruled the decision and made them into farmers instead (Telipinu, after all, benefited greatly from their neferious activities). The Telipinu Proclamation: He drew up his Proclamation in an attempt to end the constant assassinations and to secure the means of succession in the Hittite realm. See The Telipinu Proclamation. Military Exploits: He appears to have solidified the Hittite territorial position and even expanded it a little. He destroyed the city of Haššuwa. The losses of Arzawa, the lands beyond the Taurus (principally Kizzuwatna), and Syria were accepted. He is the first king to make a treaty with a foreign state, that of Kizzuwatna (CTH #21). The Kizzuwatnan king Išputahšu claimed the title of Great King, and the kingdom was powerful for the next century. He defeated Luhha. The Hittite Laws: Hoffner (1995) p. 214 considers the first attestation of the Laws to have been compiled by Telipinu. His reasoning is that the script matches and that Telipinu’s proclamation includes laws at the end of it, and is a legal document itself.

   Note: Telipinu was a king of the Hittites ca. 1460 BC (short chronology timeline). At the beginning of his reign, the Hittite Empire had contracted to its core territories, having long since lost all of its conquests, made in the former era under Hattusili I and Mursili I – to Arzawa in the West, Mitanni in the East, the Kaskians in the North, and Kizzuwatna in the South. Biography Telipinu was a son-in-law of Ammuna and brother-in-law of Huzziya I as a husband of Ammuna's daughter Ištapariya. His name was taken from the agricultural god Telipinu. During Telipinu’s reign, Huzziya and his five brothers were killed. His son and wife were killed by Telepinu's rivals to the throne. The assassins were caught and sentenced to death, but Telepinu showed his desire to stop the bloodshed (many of his predecessors were assassinated or die mysteriously) and banish these assassins instead. He was able to recover a little ground from the Hurrians of Mitanni, by forming an alliance with the Hurrians of Kizzuwatna; however, with the end of his reign, the Hittite Empire enters a temporary "Dark Ages", the Middle Kingdom, lasting around 70 years, when records become too scanty to draw many conclusions. Telepinu is perhaps most famous for drawing up the "Edict of Telepinu," which dictated the laws of succession for the Hittite throne. It was designed to stop all the royal murders which had taken place in the previous decades, which had destabilised the empire and reduced the empire to only its heartland. "Let a prince – a son of the first rank only be installed as king! If a prince of the first rank does not exist, (then) let he who is a son of second rank become king. But if there is no prince, no male issue, (then) let them take an antiyant-husband for she who is a first rank daughter, and let him become king." Family Alluwamna was a son-in-law of Telipinu, because he married Princess Harapšeki, and Telipinu was her father.
