His name also occurs as Ramesses-Montuherkhepeshef. He is likely to have been the brother of pharaoh Ramesses X and prince Nebmaatre. He was buried in his tomb KV19 in the Valley of the Kings, which was probably originally made for Ramesses VIII.[2] His titles were: First King's Son of his Body; Eldest King's Son of his Body; Generalissimo; and Executive at the Head of the Two Lands.[1]
