Pareherwenemef ("Re is with his Right Arm") was a Prince of the Twentieth Dynasty during the New Kingdom. He was the third son of Pharaoh Ramesses III, most likely named after Pareherwenemef, the third son of Ramesses II.
Family[]
Pareherwenemef is the third son of Ramesses III and holds the title "King's Eldest Son of His Body" (zꜣ nswt tpỉ n ḥm.f), which has been interpreted to mean that he was the eldest son alive upon death.[1] Alternatively, it could mean that he was the firstborn son by a particular consort. His mother was probably a minor wife named Minefer.[1] Three of his (half-)brothers later ascended the throne as Ramesses IV, VI, and VIII.
Attestations[]
Pareherwenemef is attested fifth in Ramesses III's procession of princes at Medinet Habu, which is inscribed by Ramesses VI and not necessarily in birth order.
Burial[]
Pareherwenemef predeceased his father and was buried in his QV42 rock-cut tomb in the Valley of the Queens.[2] The whereabouts of his mummy remain unknown. Inscriptions on ushabtis found during LeBlanc's re-excavation of QV42 in 1990-1991 and in front of QV45 suggest that Minefer was interred with her probable son.[1]
