Pharaoh would have seen peasant women so possibly a particularly beautiful one might catch his eye or a peasant may go from a moderatly important person to a very important one.
In England think of Nell Gwynn and Lady Hamilton.

Hi Tnrees,

Hmm, interesting point about the social-climbing.

Cheers.

l completely disagree. Queen Tiye, one of the most powerful women of Egypt was a commoner and was married to Amenhotep the 3rd. Thats pretty impressive for a commoner.

Also the pharaoh was known to have sent out special "model agents" if you will to find amazingly beautiful and stunning women for his large harem. Also he didnt have to go looking for women as the Kings allies sent him women from there kingdom. Some of which may well have been commoners.

but you know.. whatever you found on google is good to l guess...
