Hori II (vizier) explained

Hori
Style:Vizier
Predecessor:Paraemheb
Successor:To or Hewernef
Pharaoh:Seti II, Siptah, Twosret, Setnakhte and Ramesses III
Father:Hori I

Hori was a vizier of Ancient Egypt. He served during the reign of pharaohs Seti II, Siptah, Twosret, Setnakhte and Ramesses III.[1]

Family

Hori was the son of the High Priest of Ptah Hori I and the grandson of prince Khaemweset, thus a direct descendant of pharaoh Ramesses II.[2]

Biography

Hori served as Vizier from the reign of Sety II to the 16th year of Ramesses III.[3] Hori succeeded the vizier Paraemheb in office.[4]
Hori was likely succeeded in office by To in year 16 of Ramesses III.[3] The successor may have also been Hewernef, but this depends on the reading of a short, unclear text written on an ostrakon from Deir el-Medina, now located in the National Archaeological Museum of Florence.[5]
