Ramses III (died 1156 BCE, Thebes, Egypt), king of ancient Egypt (reigned 1187–56 BCE) who defended his country against foreign invasion in three great wars, thus ensuring tranquillity during much of his reign. In his final years, however, he faced internal disturbances, and he was ultimately killed in an attempted coup d’état.
In the fifth year of his reign, a coalition of Libyan tribes invaded the western Nile River delta .The Libyans had in fact encroached upon Egyptian lands, and were soundly defeated in a battle in the western delta.
After two years of peace, another, more dangerous coalition, the Sea People, advanced against Egypt by land and by sea. Ramses’ land army checked the enemy’s advance in southernmost Palestine, The attempted invasion ended Egyptian pretensions to a Syro-Palestinian hegemony.
Two more years of peace ensued, but in Ramses’ 11th year a new coalition of Libyan tribes infiltrated the western delta. Compelled to wage yet another war, he defeated the Libyans after capturing their chief.
After a prosperous mid-reign, Rameses' final years were plagued by administrative difficulties and intrigue, culminating in his demise.
Toward the end of Ramses’ reign, one of his secondary wives, seeking to place her son on the throne, plotted to assassinate the king. Written sources show that the coup failed and that the conspirators were successfully brought to trial. However, it remained unclear from the documents whether Ramses had survived the assassination attempt. The king’s mummy displayed no obvious wounds, and questions about his fate were left open to speculation for many years. In 2012 researchers announced that a CT scan had revealed a deep knife wound in the mummy’s throat, indicating that Ramses was indeed murdered by the conspirators. He died at Thebes in the 32nd year of his reign and was succeeded by the crown prince Ramses IV.
