Osorkon

Osorkon (known as Osorkon the Elder in the traditional history) was the fifth pharaoh and priest-king of the Tanite 21st Dynasty, who ruled a large section of the Nile delta centered on Tanis from 675 to 669 B.C. He succeeded Amenemope, and was succeeded by Nesubanebdjed (Psinaches). Little is known about this pharaoh in either the revised or traditional history.

Osorkon was the son of a king or priest Shoshenq, who possibly can be identified as Shoshenq III. He had no children of note to the revised history.

In 675 B.C., Osorkon succeeded Amenemope. Nothing is known about this succession, but it appears to have happened peacefully. He lived through the Assyrian invasion in 671 B.C., and survived to his seventh year when he died and passed the throne on to Nesubanebdjed (Psinaches).
