The latter seem to have ascended the throne following the fall of the late 13th Dynasty, as her uncle High Steward Nebankh had served Neferhotep I and Sobekhotep IV.

Attestations of Nubkhes (I) does not preserve the name of her husband, and the Papyrus Abbott assumes that Nubkhaes (II) found in the tomb of Sobekemsaf was his wife.

This document relates that a certain Amenpnufer, son of Anhernakhte, a stonemason from the Temple of Amun Re "fell into the habit of robbing the tombs [of noblemen in West Thebes] in company with the stonemason Hapiwer" and mentions that they robbed Sobekemsaf's tomb along with six other accomplices in Year 13 of Ramesses IX.

And I took the twenty deben of gold which had fallen to me as my portion and gave them to Khaemope, the scribe of the quarter attached to the landing place of Thebes.

Thus I, together, with other thieves who are with me, have continued to this day in the practice of robbing the tombs of the nobles and the [deceased] people of the land who rest in the west of Thebes.

[10] The document ends with the conviction of the thieves—with a probable death sentence—and notes that a copy of the official trial transcripts was dispatched to Ramesses IX in Lower Egypt.

According to the Abbott Papyrus and the Leopold-Amherst Papyrus, which is dated to Year 16 of Ramesses IX, Sekhemre Shedtawy Sobekemsaf was buried along with his chief Queen Nubkhaes (II) in his royal tomb in the necropolis in the west opposite Thebes, most likely at Dra Abu el Naga.

The late Middle Kingdom German Egyptologist Detlef Franke (1952–2007) also supported this view in an article which was published in 2008—a year after his death—where he wrote: Ryholt believed that Sekhemre Wadjkhaw Sobekemsaf intervened between the line of Intef kings and the accession of Senakhtenre—the first 17th Dynasty kings from the Ahmoside family line.
