Horemheb

Horemheb was the last pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, ruling for at least 14 years between 1319 and 1292 BCE. Believed to have been of common birth, he rose to be commander-in-chief of the army under Tutankhamun and Ay, and was linked to the royal family only by marriage to Mutnedjmet, thought, though this is disputed, to be Ay's daughter. As king he restabilised Egypt after the Amarna Period: he demolished Akhenaten's monuments, usurped those of Tutankhamun and Ay, and issued the Edict of Horemheb against corruption. Having no surviving son, he named his vizier Paramessu as his successor, who reigned as Ramesses I. His tomb, KV57, was discovered in 1908.
