Contract in the name of "Governor Lugal-ushumgal".[6]

Lugal-ushumgal (𒈗𒃲𒁔, lugal-ušumgal)[7] was a Sumerian ruler (ensi, formerly read "Patesi") of Lagash ("Shirpula"), c. 2230 – c. 2210 BCE. Several inscriptions of Lugal-ushumgal are known, particularly seal impressions, which refer to him as governor of Lagash and at the same time a vassal (𒀵, arad, "servant" or "slave")[8] of the Akkadian Empire rulers Naram-Sin and his successor Shar-Kali-Sharri.[9][10][11][12]

It can be considered that Lugalushumgal was a collaborator of the Akkadian Empire, as was Meskigal, ruler of Adab.[13]

He was succeeded by Puzer-Mama who achieved independence from Shar-Kali-Sharri, assuming the title of "King of Lagash" and starting the illustrious Second Dynasty of Lagash.[14][15]
