Abstract
This paper discusses the relationships of the royal ladies Takhat who appear on the monuments. It distinguishes two, A, wife of Sethos II and mother of Amenmesse, and B, wife of Prince Montjuhirkopshef B, son of Ramesses III, and mother of Ramesses IX, buried in KV 10, the old tomb of Amenmesse. The other lady depicted in that tomb is identified as the wife of Ramesses IX. In addition, Grist's identification of Tyti (QV 52) as a daughter and wife of Ramesses III (JEA 71 (1985), 71-81) is opposed and Amenmesse's paternity of Siptah supported.
