Shoshenq VI is known to be Pedubast I's immediate successor at Thebes based upon the career of the Letter Writer to Pharaoh Hor IX, who served under Osorkon II and Pedubast I ( see Hor IX's statue -- CGC 42226 -- which is explicitly dated to Pedubast's reign ).

The richly inlaid torso from a bronze statue that originally depicted Pedubast I is today on permanent display in the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, Portugal and is considered to be one of the great masterpieces of Egyptian Third Intermediate Period Art.

The only certainly attested king in this category is Shoshenq VI who was Pedubast I's successor at Thebes.

" Shoshenq III is known to have lost effective control of Upper Egypt after his 8th Year when Pedubast I proclaimed himself king here.

Harsiese B is also attested in office in the sixth regnal year of Shoshenq III in Nile Quay Text No. 6 and lived into the 18th and 19th regnal years of Pedubast I as Nile Quay Text No. 27 shows.

He died before Year 23 of Pedubast I when this King's new High Priest is revealed to be a Takelot ( see Nile Quay Text No. 29 )

Since Shoshenq VI's prenomen is inscribed on Hor IX's funerary cones, this indicates that Hor IX outlived Pedubast I and made his funeral arrangements under Shoshenq VI instead.

Instead, while Harsiese A was certainly an independent king at Thebes during the first decade of Osorkon II's kingship, he was a different person from a second person who was also called Harsiese: Harsiese B. Harsiese B was the genuine High Priest of Amun who is attested in office late in Osorkon II's reign, in the regnal year 6 of Shoshenq III and in regnal years 18 and 19 of Pedubast I, according to Jansen-Winkeln.

Based on lunar dates which are known to belong to the reign of his rival in Upper Egypt Takelot II and the fact that Pedubast I first appeared as a local king at Thebes around Year 11 of Takelot II's rule, Pedubast I is today believed to have had his accession date in either 835 BC or 824 BC.

This year is equivalent to Year 31 of Shoshenq III of the Tanis based 22nd Dynasty of Egypt ; however, since Shoshenq II only controlled Lower Egypt in Memphis and the Delta region, Pedubast and Shoshenq III were not political rivals and may even have established a relationship.

Each faction had a rival line of High Priests of Amun with Pedubast's being Harsiese B who is attested in office as early as Year 6 of Shoshenq III and then Takelot E who appears in office from Year 23 of Pedubast I. Osorkon B was Pedubast I and Harsiese's chief rival.

This is a logical deduction since Shoshenq III of the 22nd Dynasty lost effective control over Upper Egypt in his 8th Year with the accession of Pedubast I at Thebes.

During the prolonged civil war which erupted between the forces of Osorkon B and Pedubast I for control of Thebes, Harsiese B sided with Pedubast's faction since the Karnak Quay Texts show he became the latter's High Priest.

Harsiese B consequently served in office for almost 3 decades under Osorkon II ( final 3 Years ), Shoshenq III ( first 7-8 Years ) and Pedubast I ( at least 18-19 Years ), and must have been Crown Prince Osorkon B's chief rival for this office at Thebes since he was affiliated with Osorkon's rival.

Indeed, Shoshenq III's son, the general and army leader Pashedbast B " built a vestibule door to Pylon X at Karnak, and in one and the same commemorative text thereon named his father as Sheshonq ( III )" but dated his actions here to Pedubast I.

Pedubastis I or Pedubast I was an Upper Egyptian Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt during the 9th century BC.

Pedubast I was the main opponent to Takelot II and later, Osorkon B, of the 23rd Dynasty of Libyan kings of Upper Egypt at Thebes.

Osorkon B did not immediately ascend to his father's throne presumably because he was involved in a prolonged civil war with his rival Pedubast I and, later, Shoshenq VI, for control of Thebes.

This caused a prolonged period of turmoil and instability in Upper Egypt as a prolonged struggle broke out between the competing factions of Takelot II / Osorkon B and Pedubast I / Shoshenq VI for control of Thebes.

This may show some tacit support for the Pedubast faction by the Tanite based 22nd dynasty king Shoshenq III.

* 730 BC — Osorkon IV succeeds Pedubast II as king of the Twenty-second Dynasty of Egypt.

In Thebes, a civil war engulfed the city between the forces of Pedubast I, who had proclaimed himself Pharaoh versus the existing line of Takelot II / Osorkon B.

In Year 11 of Takelot II, an insurrection began under Pedubast I whose followers challenged this king's authority at Thebes.

However, just four years later, in year 15 of Takelot II, a second major revolt broke out and this time Osorkon B's forces were expelled from Thebes by Pedubast I.

Hor IX later served under both Shoshenq III, Pedubast I and Shoshenq VI.

Osorkon II was the last great Twenty-second Dynasty king of Tanis who ruled Egypt from the Delta to Upper Egypt because his successor, Shoshenq III lost effectively control of Middle and Upper Egypt in his 8th Year with the emergence of king Pedubast I at Thebes.

Temple J was built in the final years of Osorkon II's reign by the then serving HPA, Takelot F. Hor IX later served under Pedubast I and Usermaatre Meryamun Shoshenq VI, who were direct contemporaries of Shoshenq III of the Twenty-second Dynasty.

Shoshenq III once even dispatched his second son, Pashedbast B, to Thebes where the latter " added a vestibule door to Pylon X at Karnak, dating it to the reign of Pedubast.

" Hor IX served beyond the 25-year reign of Pedubast I and lived into Shoshenq VI's reign under whom his funerary cones were inscribed.

Shoshenq VI's High Priest of Amun was a certain Takelot who first appears in office in Year 23 of Pedubast I.

Shoshenq VI was presumably Crown Prince Osorkon B's chief rival at Thebes after the death of Pedubast I.
