 Pharaoh (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ramses plans to win over or subordinate the priesthood, especially the High Priest of Amon, Herhor, obtain for the country's use the emergency treasures that lie in the charge of the priests of the Labyrinth, and wage victorious war against Egypt's arch-rival, Assyria.
Ramses' ultimate failure to do so is caused by his underestimation of his opponents and by his impatience with priestly obscurantism: along with the chaff of the priests' myths and rituals, he has inadvertently discarded a crucial piece of scientific knowledge.
Ramses is succeeded to the throne by his arch-enemy Herhor, who paradoxically ends up raising treasure from the Labyrinth to finance Ramses' planned social reforms.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Egypt
The treaty was faithfully observed by both parties, at least until the second year of Merneptah (1225-1215), the son and successor of Ramses II, when the Hittites seem to have taken part in an invasion of the Delta by the Libyans and various peoples of the northern Mediterranean, their allies.
Both the land and the naval battles were fought in about the same region, for Ramses, having routed the land forces of the enemy, was in time to co-operate with the Egyptian fleet in defeating that of the invaders.
Ramses III had to repel another invasion of the Libyans, impelled this time by Meshwesh (the Maxyes of Heroditus), and shortly after he found it necessary to appear again with his army in Northern Palestine, where rebellion ha broken out against some of his vassals.

The disgrace of Meremptah was sufficient for Ramses-the-Great to appoint a new successor.
As detailed in the previous chapters, Osorkon believed that the natural line of Ramses II as Joshua-Salitis was not fated to go on, but should be supplanted by a true collateral line, and that his son Shabaka was the best qualified to seize the throne in the role of Jacob.
Ramses III was only about 11 years old at his coronation, therefore if the Biblical accounting is correct, he would have acquired his third kingship (Nubia) in Year 14 of his reign as pharaoh of Egypt.

Ramses began his reforms by rebuilding the fleet, which, in a country like Egypt, was always an artificial creation, liable to fall into decay, unless a strong and persistent effort were made to keep it in an efficient condition.
Ramses, informed of their design by the despatches of his officers and vassals, resolved to prevent its accomplishment.
Ramses boasts, moreover, in an idyllic manner, of having planted trees everywhere, and of having built arbours wherein the people might sit in the shade in the open air; while women might go to and fro where they would in security, no one daring to insult them on the way.

It is traditionally thought that Ramses I was the first pharaoh of the XIXth Dynasty, although you may come across Aye or Horemheb being named the founder of the XIXth Dynasty.
Note that the Bored of Studies prefers Ramses I being the founder, and as such, there is an important inference that a student must look at both Dynasties XIX and XX, (since Ramses I was the founder of the Ramesside period).
Note that whilst 'Ramses' is a better form of the pharaohs' names, the capital of Ramses II should be still styled 'Per-Ramesses'.

Piankh, the grandfather of Piankhi, was a contemporary of Ramses XI, the terminal 20th dynasty king.
In the 19th year of Ramses' reign, for reasons not fully appreciated by Egyptologists, an alternative dating schema was instituted in the south of Egypt by those who had previously dated events solely in reference to the years of Ramses XI.
If that scenario is correct then we must assume that in 673 B.C. Ramses XI was driven from Thebes, no doubt during the civil upheaval that attended the "war of the high priests" and the incursions of the rebel Pinehsi.
