Hatshepsut seems to have idolized her father (she would eventually have him reburied in the tomb she was having built for herself)

I saw on a tv programme that her father was buried in her tomb beside her. I wondered if she was married to him - the Egyptian royalty saw nothing wrong in that.

She was married to her half brother (when she was twelve) to insure his legitimacy to the throne. He was Thutmose II.
