ottoman empire
the three-way struggle followed the french invasion of egypt by napoleon. after the french defeat a power vacuum was created in egypt. the mamluks had governed egypt before the french invasion and still retained much power. egypt was officially a part of the ottoman empire and egypt still had many ottoman turkish troops who had been sent to evict the french. many of the best ottoman troops were from albania, then a province of the ottoman empire.

muhammad ali's seizure of power
since ramesses vii's accession is known to have occurred around the end of iii peret, the king would have ruled egypt for a minimum period of 7 years and 5 months when this document was drawn up provided that it belonged to his reign as seems probable from the royal name given in the papyrus. the respected german egyptologist jürgen von beckerath also accepts c.j. eyre's evidence that year 8 iv shemu day 25 was ramesses vii's highest known date. however, the accession date of his successor, ramesses viii, has been fixed by amin amer to an 8-month period between i peret day 2 and i akhet day 13, or 5 months after the year 8 iv shemu day 25 date of ramesses vii. therefore, if ramesses vii did not die between the short 2 week period between iv shemu day 29 to i akhet 13, this pharaoh would have been on the throne for at least another 4 more months until i peret day 2 and ruled egypt for 7 years and 9 months when he died (perhaps slightly longer if he died after i peret day 2). therefore, it is possible that ramesses vii could have ruled egypt for almost 8 years; at present, his certain reign length is 7 years and 5 months.
