Takelot III. was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh (king) of Libyan descent. According to the Thomas Schneider Lexicon of Pharaohs , it is classified in the 23rd dynasty . His sole reign is from about 766 to 754 BC. To apply. From the 24th year of reign (771 BC) he was initially “only” co-regent of his probably already elderly father Osorkon III. , but then, for only a few years, became Pharaoh himself. His mother was Tentsai, wife of Osorkon III. The king's daughter Irti-Bastet (A), Kakaet and Betjet are attested as wives. Takelot III. had at least two sons: Djedptahiuefanch, second prophet of Amun, and Osorkon, apparently a simple prophet of Amun. His daughters were Irbastetudjatjau, Diisetnesit, who were both married to viziers , as well as Tentsai and the prophetess of courage Irti-Bastet (B), possibly a daughter of the aforementioned king's daughter and king-consort Irti-Bastet (A).
