The most influential and important ruler of the 20th Dynasty, and the last Pharaoh to rule the country with a substantial authority.

During his reign Egypt was attacked three times by foreign. Twice the Libyans attacked, and one time the 'Sea People' who set out from the Aegean Islands and Asia Minor, Ramses III defeated his enemies in all the wars. But the victory against the 'Sea People' was only partial,

He built important additions to the Temple at Karnak, and a mortuary temple at Medinet Habu near Luxor

The Harem Conspiracy Papyrus, shows that there was a plot against his life instigated by Tey, one of his two principal wives, over whose son would inherit the throne. Isis's son, Ramses IV, was the eldest and the chosen successor by Ramses III rather than Tey's son Pentawere.

It is not clear if Ramses III was in fact killed by the conspirators, and that his son,Ramses IV, set up the tribunal.
