| Reign |
Userkare was a claimant to the throne from the 5th Dynasty
He opposed his immediate predecessor Teti I, and set a conspiracy that murdered Teti by his bodyguards.
Userkare then usurped the throne, while the son of Teti I was still very young to claim his rights
The reign of Userkare was very short, it lasted only 2 years with very few records
An inscription mentions his workforce from the 12th Upper Egypt Nome Tu-ph, engaged on a large scale construction of his tomb, however this project was not completed due to his short reign
Later the 6th dynasty line was restored when Queen Iput I, Teti's I widow saw her son Pepi I succeed the throne
