Nefertari was one of the Great Royal Wives (or principal wives) of Ramesses the Great. Nefertari married Ramesses II before he ascended the throne. Her oldest son Amun-her-khepeshef was Crown Prince and Commander of the Troops. Another son Pareherwenemef would later serve in Ramesses II's army. A third son, Prince Meryatum was elevated to the position of High Priest of Re in Heliopolis. As a principal wife, she had considerable influence with Ramesses and apparently served as his representative at some functions. We even have records of her corresponding with foreign kings as something akin to an ambassador or secretary of state.
