Intef I was a local
Egyptian ruler at
Thebes, and a member of the
Eleventh dynasty during the
First Intermediate Period. He was the first of his dynasty to assume the title of
Pharaoh, with the
Horus name
Sehertawy,
he who calms the Two Lands. This was contested by the other
nomarchs of Egypt, chief among them the
Tenth dynasty at
Herakleopolis Magna, and Intef probably ruled little more than the surrounding areas of his capital.
He was succeeded by his brother Intef II.
