After the dying of RamesesII, the 19th Dynasty, quickly fell into decline and familial clash, culminating in a last civil battle that ended with the accession of a brand new dynasty. Sethy I and Rameses II’s promoting of an idea of a much wider ‘royal kinfolk’ could have sown the seeds for the conflicts between their descendants.
Aidan Dodson explores the mysteries of the origins of the usurper-king Amenmeses and the profession of the ‘king-maker’ of the interval, the chancellor Bay. Having helped to put in not less than one pharaoh at the throne, Bay’s existence was once ended by means of his abrupt execution, ordered through the girl with whom he had shared the regency of Egypt for the younger and disabled King Siptah. eventually, the writer considers how that woman—Tawosret—became the final real lady pharaoh, and the way she eventually misplaced her throne to the founding father of the 20 th Dynasty, Sethnakhte.
