Script error: No such module "Infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Script error: No such module "Location map". Enannatum I (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "lang". Template:Fl.), son of Akurgal, succeeded his brother Eannatum as Ensi (ruler, king) of Lagash.[1] During his rule, Umma once more asserted independence under its ensi Ur-Lumma, who attacked Lagash unsuccessfully. After several battles, Enannatum I finally defeated Ur-Lumma.[1] Ur-Lumma was replaced by a priest-king, Il, who also attacked Lagash.
Enannatum had a son named Meannesi, who is known for dedicating a statue for the life of his father and mother.[2][3] He has two other sons, Lummatur and Entemena, the latter succeeding him to the throne.[1] His wife was named Ashumen.[1]
