Our coverage of the ancient world is thin: we only include people whose birth and death can be dated to within 25 years. These lives may have overlapped with Seti I’s, but their dates are too uncertain to say: Tutankhamun and Ankhesenamun.

The nearest lives we can place: Nefertiti died about 2 years before Seti I was born, Šuppiluliuma I died about 7 years before Seti I was born, Tiye died about 12 years before Seti I was born, Amenhotep III died about 23 years before Seti I was born and Ramesses III was born about 57 years after Seti I died.
