Shuttarna III was a Mitanni king[citation needed] who reigned for a short period in the 14th century BC. He was the son of Artatama II, a usurper to the throne of Tushratta.[1]
At that time, Assyria, led by Ashur-uballit I, became more powerful. But also Babylon, led by Burnaburiash II, was a rival. The events of this period are reflected in the Amarna correspondence.[2]
Shuttarna sought support from the Assyrians, but was defeated when a Hittite army marched towards the capital and installed Shattiwaza on the throne.[3]
