According to a website, King Tut is believed to be from a union between his father Akhenaten and a lesser wife named Kia. Nefertiti and Akhenaten had six daughters only, no sons. Also: "Tutankhaten became a Boy King at the age of about nine. He married a slightly older Ankhesenpaaten (below right), one of the daughters of Akhenaten and Nefertiti."

So, she was his step-mother and also his mother-in-law. And, he actually married a half-sister.

Didn't there used to be a song on that theme..."I'm my own grandpa..." or something like that.

Inbreeding among the royal families was common throughout Egyptian history. This is probably responsible for the death of the two female fetuses found in Tutanhkamun's tomb. One was stillborn and the other died at 7 months in-utero. It has recently been detected that the unborn fetus had spina bifida and a cervical disorder inherited from Tutankhamun. He suffered from a cervical disorder which prevented him from turning his head in any direction and often walked with canes many of which were found among his funerary goods.
