Ramses had many children 44-56 sons and 40-44 daughters. Ramses was a "redhead" he had red hair. For the last decades of his life, Ramesses II was crippled because of arthritis and walked with a hunched back. Ramesses II was originally buried in the tomb KV7 in the Valley of The Kings, but because of looting, Ancient Egyptian priests later transferred the body to a holding area, re-wrapped it, and placed it inside the tomb of queen Inhapy. 72 hours later, it was again moved to the tomb of the high priest Pinjudem II. All of this is recorded in hieroglyphics on the linen covering the body. He had outlived many of his wives and children http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_children_of_Ramesses_II http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramesses_II http://www.kingtutone.com/pharaohs/ramses2/
