The "orthodox chronology" dates cited by David Rohl (for dynasties 
11-20) are taken from Kitchen's "low" chronology in "The Basics of 
Egyptian Chronology in Relation to the Bronze Age", in P. Astrom 
(ed.), "High, Middle or Low?" part 1 (Gothenburg 1987), pp.37-55. Rohl 
chooses Kitchen's dating as he interacts mainly with Kitchen's data on 
the Third Intermediate Period. Of course Rohl's own dating is much 
later still.

Peter Kirk:
 According to David Rohl, the currently accepted dating for Ahmose I is
> 1550-1514 BCE, so that the expulsion of the Hyksos in 11th year falls 
> in 1539 BCE.

Dear Peter,
Thankyou for this information, I was not aware of this "late of a dating" for 
the reign of Ahmose I...
