How it ended, as its article says
Conquered by nomarchs of Heracleopolis Magna who. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
In spite of close relations between the Memphite kings and powerful nomarchs, notably in Coptos, the Eighth Dynasty was eventually overthrown by the nomarchs of Heracleopolis Magna, who founded the Ninth Dynasty.
