Family Life
Nefertari
While it is quite certain that she had roots in Egyptian royalty, much speculation still surrounds her actual family lineage. Some scholars have even suggested that she might have been the daughter of King Seti I, the father of Ramses II and therefore his half sister.
It was not unusual for royalty to marry within their own families as it ensured the continuance of the dynastic line. Nefertiti and Ramses 2's own daughter, Merit amen, allegedly went on to become Ramses' wife after Nefertari’s early death around the time of 1254 B.C.
