Confusing numbering of kings named Tudhaliya
The designation Tudhaliya I for this king has been adopted by some scholars, but certainly not all. The main English-language monograph on Hittite History remains Trevor Bryce (new edition, 2005, reprinted 2010), The Kingdom of the Hittites, and he cautiously indicates the possibility that Tudhaliya I and II were one and the same king (Tudhaliya I/II), while retaining the designation Tudhaliya III for the son of Arnuwanda I and "father" of Suppiluliuma I. The renumbering adopted here has resulted in a great deal of confusion (especially on the Tudhaliya III page), which I have been trying to sort out. Having updated Tudhaliya III and created Tudhaliya the Younger, I am planning on editing this page accordingly, with added references and notes and a clear indication of the numbering issue.
