History

There are, quite simply, too many Osorkon's floating around in he Third INtermediate Period. Some posit that Osorkon III is the son ofSheshonq IV or Takelot II -- and others that he is the same person as the High Priest Osorkon in Thebes. Related or not, he did manage to consolidate power by appointing his family member to important posts in Thebes -- including declaring his son, Takelot III as his co regent and High Priest of Thebes and his daughter Shapenaput as the first Divine Adoratrice (or Divine Wife) of Amun
