| | THE FIRST, SECOND & THIRD INTERMEDIATE PERIODS |
 | | Herihor died about five years before Ramesses XI, and was replaced by Piankh, who may have been his son-in-law, although both Piankh and Ramesses XI seem to have died at about the same time. |
 | | After the death of Ramesses XI in around 1070, Smendes proclaimed himself king ruling from the Delta, establishing the 21st Dynasty. |
 | | It should be mentioned that mostly throughout this period, the High Priests at Amun, whilst firmly in control of the south, nominally deferred to the northern king, allowing him to rule, at least in name, the whole of Egypt. |
