Abstract
The main subject of the article are the relations between the rulers of Upper and Lower Egypt during the Twenty-first Dynasty. The wife of Psusennes I, whose name used to be read Mutnodjmet, is identical with Nodjmetmut, a daughter of Pajnedjem I. The supposed marriage ties between Ramses XI and the new royal family at Tanis cannot be substantiated and are very unlikely. An inscription at Thebes mentions a daughter of king Amenemope who was married to a High Priest of Amun, probably Pajnedjem II. It can be shown that Amenemope and Pajnedjem II were very closely allied and that they started a new political era in Upper Egypt. The history of Upper Egypt is reconsidered as well as the method of dating during this period.
