Kuzi-Teshub
Kuzi-Teshub was a ruler of Carchemish in northern Syria, son of Talmi-Teshub, the last Hittite viceroy there. After the collapse of the Hittite Empire around 1180 BCE he took the title 'Great King', and his descendants ruled Carchemish and the kingdom of Melid (Malatya), carrying Hittite royal traditions into the Neo-Hittite states of the Iron Age.
