Ramses I Pharaoh Biography 1293-1291 BCThe 19th Dynasty, despite its later luminaries, began on a fairly low note. Ramses I, from whom the main part of the period takes its name, 'Ramesside', came to be pharaoh almost by default.
He was previously the vizier, close friend and confidant of the pharaoh Horemheb, who - having failed to produce an heir - appears to have bestowed the succession on his comrade. Ramses must have been of advanced years, probably into his fifties, and was not of royal blood.
Ramses and mosesHe was a 'career' army officer, the son of the troop commander, Seti. Their family came from the north-eastern Delta area of Avaris, the capital of the Hyksos invaders of 400 years earlier.
