A prince and antiquarian, Khaemwaset was the fourth son of Ramesses II and Isetnofret, one of his principal wives. He exercised considerable influence during the earlier periods of his father's reign, later holding the rank of Crown Prince and the appointments of High Priest of Ptah and Governor of Memphis. Long after his lifetime he enjoyed a considerable reputation as a magician and one who knew the secrets of the origins of kingship. Due to his father's long reign, Khaemwaset was never to rule.
