Huzziya II was a king of the Hittites. He was killed by Muwatalli I, who seized the throne and was possibly the Gal Mesedi of the royal bodyguard.[1]
His wife was Queen Šummiri.[2] Her name is associated with southern regions of the Hittite Empire; it is connectable with the name of Mount Summiyara and marked by the suffix -iyara, which primarily appears in the south.[3]
