Amun-her-khepeshef was the eldest son and appointed heir of Pharaoh Ramesses III. Like many of his brothers, he was named after a son of Ramesses II, Amun-her-khepeshef. [1] He died when he was about fifteen years old[2].
He is also mentioned as Ramesses Amun-her-khepeshef. He is not identical with his brother Ramesses VI, who was also called Amun-her-khepeshef before he became pharaoh.[1]
He is depicted in his father's temple at Medinet Habu.[1] His well preserved tomb, QV55 (in the Valley of the Queens) was excavated by Italian archaeologists in 1903-1904.[2]
