Hatshepsut married her half brother, Thutmose II, who inherited the throne from their father, Thutmose I, and made Hatshepsut his consort. When Thutmose II died Hatshepsut became coregent for his son and her stepson, Thutmose III. For the first few years of her stepson’s reign, Hatshepsut was an entirely conventional regent. But, by the end of his seventh regnal year, she had been crowned king and adopted a full royal titulary. Hatshepsut and Thutmose III thus became corulers of Egypt, with Hatshepsut very much the dominant king.
