Adad-nirari III (also Adad-narari, meaning "Adad (the storm god) is my help") was the King of Assyria from 811 to 783 BC.

Family

Adad-nirari was a son and successor of king Shamshi-Adad V, and was apparently quite young at the time of his accession, because for the first five years of his reign, his mother Shammuramat was highly influential, which has given rise to the legend of Semiramis.
