===Family=== Unas assumed the throne at the death of his predecessor Djedkare Isesi. Djedkare is thought to have been Unas' father,{{sfn|Altenmüller|2001|p=600}} in spite of the complete lack of evidence bearing on the question.{{sfn|Grimal|1992|p=80}} The succession from Djedkare Isesi to Unas seems to have been smooth.{{sfn|Baud|1999|p=563}} Unas had at least two queens, [[Nebet (queen)|Nebet]]{{sfn|Baud|1999|p=489}} and [[Khenut]],{{sfn|Baud|1999|p=545}} who were buried in a large double [[mastaba]] adjacent to their husband's pyramid. Unas and Nebet possibly had a son, the "king's son", "royal chamberlain", "priest of [[Maat]]" and "[[overseer of Upper Egypt]]" Unas-Ankh,{{sfn|Williams|1981|p=31}} who died about 10 years into Unas' reign.{{sfn|Onderka|2009|p=166}} The filiation of Unas-Ankh is indirectly hinted at by his name and titles and by the presence of his tomb near those of Nebet and Unas{{sfn|Baud|1999|p=422}} but is not universally accepted.{{sfn|Schmitz|1976|p=31 & 89}}{{sfn|Onderka|2009|p=150 & pp. 167–170}}{{efn|group=lower-alpha|In particular the title of "king's son" was given to both actual royal sons and non-royal high officials.{{sfn|Onderka|2009|pp=149–150}}}} Two other sons have been proposed, Nebkauhor{{sfn|Munro|1993|pp=20–33}} and Shepsespuptah,{{sfn|Baud|1999|pp=580–582}} but these filiations are conjectural and contested.{{sfn|Onderka|2009|p=170}} Unas likely died without a male heir.{{sfn|Onderka|2009|p=170}} [[File:Unas stelae.jpg|thumb|196x196px|Unas stelae]] Unas had at least five daughters named Hemetre Hemi,{{sfn|Baud|1999|p=519}} Khentkaues,{{sfn|Dodson|Hilton|2004|p=64}} Neferut,{{sfn|Baud|1999|p=499}} Nefertkaues Iku,{{sfn|Baud|1999|pp=496–497}} and Sesheshet Idut.{{sfn|Baud|1999|pp=564–565}} The status of another possible daughter, [[Iput]], is uncertain.{{sfn|Baud|1999|pp=410–411}} [[File:Abydos KL 05-08 n33.jpg|thumb|Cartouche of king Unas]]
