Seuserenre Bebiankh was a native Ancient Egyptian king of the 16th Theban dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period and the successor of king Semenre. He is assigned a reign of 12 years in the Turin Canon. [Kim Ryholt, The Political Situation in Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period, Museum Tusculanum Press, (1997), p.202] Seuserenre is principally known by a stela found at Gebel Zeit which attests to mining activity conducted in this area by the Red Sea during his reign and preserves his royal nomen Bebiankh. [Ryholt, op. cit., pp.159-60] He is also known to have an extension to the Temple of Medamud. [ [http://free.of.pl/n/narmer/dyn/17en.htm XVIIth Dynasty ] ] He was succeeded by a poorly known king named Sekhemre Shedwast.

The German Egyptologist Jürgen von Beckerath has attributed an anonymous Year 11 Sothic inscription from Gebel Tjauti Rock inscription No.11--which has been dated to the period around 1593-1590 BC deep within the Second Intermediate Period--to king Seuserenre. [John Coleman Darnell, Theban Desert Road Survey in the Egyptian Western Desert, vol. 1 Gebel Tjauti Rock Inscriptions & and Wadi el-Hôl Rock Inscriptions 1-45. 2002] [ [http://oi.uchicago.edu/pdf/OIP119.pdf Gebel Tjauti Rock Inscription 11 pp.49-52] ] If correct, this would place Seuserenre's reign in the period from 1603/1600 BC to 1591 or 1588 BC. His prenomen, Seuserenre, means "The One Whom Re Causes to be Strong." [ [http://www.ancient-egypt.org/kings/16/1609_bebiankh/titulary.html Titulary] ]
