Utu-hegal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Utu-hegal was one of the first King of Sumer after centuries of Akkadian and Gutian rule. There are several theories concerning further details of his life. The most common is that he was a governor of Uruk who revolted against the Guti during the 22nd century BC. After defeating the Guti with the aid of other cities, Utu-hegal established himself as the King of Sumer. He was, however, unable to maintain power, and seven years later Ur-Nammu, the governor of Ur became the king of Sumer.
