A nomarch from the Eleventh Dynasty, Baket III (c. 2055-2004 BCE) enjoyed considerable regional power due to the weakening of the monarchy's authority, a situation that occurred during the First Intermediate Period. The provincial nobles, especially the nomarchs acquired extensive independence. Baket III, the Great Chief of the Oryx Nome, was one of these.

Later he allied himself to the growing authority of the Theban princes who were to form the Eleventh Dynasty.
