Sunassura

Also known as Shunashshura

Sunassura was a king of Kizzuwatna in south-eastern Anatolia around 1400 BCE. A treaty with the Hittite king Tudhaliya I records that he left the side of the Mitanni Empire and accepted Hittite overlordship, with detailed terms on the borders and duties of the two kingdoms. Soon afterwards Kizzuwatna was absorbed into the Hittite state, and its cults passed to the Hittite court.
