On hindsight Selenus, I will accept KIRUM as an anwser.The correct anwser is KIRU, although I think that there are variations on the spelling, depending on what sources you refer to.


B.C. ca. 1790-1745 Mayor Kirum of Khaya-Sumu's City in Ilansura (Mesopotamia)
She was one of the many daughters of King Zimri-Lim of Mari. She was married to Khaya-Sumu of Ilansura and her father appointed her Mayor of Khaya-Sumus' city. She not only administered the city, but also dispensed political advice to her father. This displeased her husband, who also married her sister, Shimatum, creating a bitter rivalry, and in the end she returned back home to her father.

The anwser was here at the Mesopotamia board here at VFA. For a bit more background information, read a previous post at Mesopatamian Women thread

So, I gladly hand the next question to you, Selenus:)

Well Done!
