Cleopatra VI of Egypt
Cleopatra VI Tryphaena was the daughter of Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysus. When her father fled to Rome to avoid an uprising in Alexandria against him, her sister Berenice took control of Egypt. Cleopatra VI then died in 57 BC of unknown reasons, although it is believed Berenice IV poisoned her. When her father later returned he had Berenice IV and her husband beheaded.
