'''Menpehtyre Ramesses I''' (or '''Ramses''') was the founding [[pharaoh]] of [[ancient Egypt]]'s [[Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt|19th Dynasty]]. The dates for his short reign are not completely known but the timeline of late [[1290s BC|1292–1290 BC]] is frequently cited<ref name="beckerath">{{Cite book |last1=Beckerath |first1=Jürgen von |author-link1=Jürgen von Beckerath |title=Chronologie des pharaonischen Ägypten : die Zeitbestimmung der ägyptischen Geschichte von der Vorzeit bis 332 v.

[https://books.google.com/books?id=nfiFAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA165 165].</ref> While Ramesses I was the founder of the 19th Dynasty, his brief reign mainly serves to mark the transition between the reign of [[Horemheb]], who had stabilized Egypt in the late 18th Dynasty, and the rule of the powerful pharaohs of his own dynasty, in particular his son [[Seti I]], and grandson [[Ramesses II]].
