Ptolemy VIINeos Philopator was an Egyptian king of the Ptolemaic period. Son of Ptolemy VI, he reigned briefly with his father in 145 BC, and for a short time after that. He was murdered by his uncle, Ptolemy VIII, who succeeded him.
Ptolemy XIV (Greek: Πτολεμαίος, who lived 60 BC/59 BC – 44 BC and reigned 47 BC – 44 BC), was a son of Ptolemy XII of Egypt and one of the last members of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt.
Following the death of his older brother Ptolemy XIII of Egypt on January 13, 47 BC, he was proclaimed Pharaoh and co-ruler by their older sister and remaining Pharaoh Cleopatra VII of Egypt.
It has been assumed but remains uncertain that Cleopatra poisoned her co-ruler to replace him with Ptolemy XV Caesarion, her son by Caesar who was proclaimed co-ruler on September 2, 44 BC and whom his mother intended to support as successor of his father.
