Idrimi

Idrimi was the king of Alalakh c. 1490–1465 BC, or around 1450 BC. He is known mainly from an inscription on his statue found at Alalakh by Leonard Woolley in 1939. According to that inscription, he was a son of Ilim-Ilimma I, King of Halab, who would have been deposed by the new regional master Barattarna, King of Mitanni. Idrimi probably succeeded in gaining the throne of Alalakh with the assistance of a group known as the Habiru, founding the Kingdom of Mukish as a vassal state to the Kingdom of Mitanni. He also invaded the Hittite territories to the north, resulting in a treaty with the country Kizzuwatna.
