He was the brother of Ramesses IV . His reign was characterized by the continued growth of the power of the priesthood of Amon , which controlled much of the Temple land in the country and was in control of the financial system through the high priest's son. The Papyrus Turin 1887 records a financial scandal during his reign that involved the priests of Elephantine .

The circumstances of his death are unknown. It is possible he was dethroned by his successor, Ramesses VI . His Mummy has been recovered and seems to indicate that he died of Smallpox , but there is a major head wound evident as well.
