As we have already seen, this tomb, which lies close to that of the
chancellor Bay (*), was originally that
of Queen Tausert . It makes the apex of a triangle of which the tomb of Siptah
( 47 ) and that of Bay ( 13 ) are the other two angles .

KV9 – Tomb of Ramses V and Ramses VI .. Part ( 8 )
This tomb was begun for Ramses V, whose full titulary may be given here,
together with that of Ramses VI, who usurped his tomb, as an example of the
ridiculous titularies of these Ramesside Pharaoh, the length of whose names was
in inverse proportion to the strength of their reigns .
