| Book Description | After the death of Rameses II, the Nineteenth Dynasty soon fell into decline and familial conflict, culminating in a final civil war that ended with the accession of a new dynasty. Sethy I and Rameses IIs promotion of a concept of a wider royal family may have sown the seeds for the conflicts among their descendants. Aidan Dodson explores the mysteries of the origins of the usurper-king Amenmeses and the career of the king-maker of the period, the chancellor Bay. Having helped to install at least one pharaoh on the throne, Bays life was ended by his abrupt execution, ordered by the woman with whom he had shared the regency of Egypt for the young and disabled King Siptah. Finally, the author considers how that womanTawosretbecame the last true female pharaoh, and how she finally lost her throne to the founder of the Twentieth Dynasty, Sethnakhte. |
