This letter dramatically highlights the desperate situation facing Ugarit while it was also under attack by the invading Sea Peoples.

Divorce

Suppiluliuma II was responsible for the divorce settlement between Ammurapi and a Hittite woman,[1][2] but it did not cause a problem between the Kingdom of Ugarit and the Hittite Empire;Template:Sfn instead it demonstrated the relationship between both kingdoms.Template:Sfn

Bronze Age Collapse

Ammurapi is the last known ruler of Ugarit. The city may have been destroyed around 1192-1190 BC.[3] Ugarit would become one of the many states of the ancient Near East that were destroyed or abandoned during the Bronze Age collapse.
