Ramesses I

Ramesses I was the founder of the 19th Dynasty, who ruled Egypt from 870 to 869 B.C. He succeeded Horemheb, and was succeeded by his son Seti I. Very little is known about this pharaoh, due to his short length of reign.

Ramesses I was the son of Seti, a vizier during the late 18th Dynasty, and had one son of note to the revised history (Seti I).

In 870 B.C., Horemheb of the 18th Dynasty died and appointed Ramesses I his successor. Ramesses ruled for just one year, and died near the beginning of his second. He may have been very old, as it appears a tomb had already been prepared for him upon his death.
