...Thank you for this link, which helps me to understand some of Rohl's thinking although it is obviously not his latest version. I see he takes Rameses IV-VIII as successive co-regents of Rameses III, and Rameses XI also as a co-regent - or perhaps a rival.
Peter - Thanks for the correction on Rohl. I am well aware of his main work but I did not know that he had recently corrected his obvious error. My information about his timeline for dynasty 19 and 20 came from his (now defunct) web-site. While this web-site is no longer available directly the page can be retrieved using the archival internet "wayback machine". This page is archived at

Here you will see that originally he had Setnakht dying in 866 BC with Tausert acting as regent from 862 BC before becoming pharaoh and dying in 855 BC - an impossible 11 years after Setnakht.
