Son of Pharaoh Ptolemy XII of Egypt he succeeded him in Spring of 51 BC as co-ruler of his older sister Cleopatra VII of Egypt. In October of 50 BC, he was promoted to senior ruler along with her although Potheinus acted as regent for him. In Spring of 48 BC Ptolemy and Potheinus attempted to depose Cleopatra in order for the first to become sole ruler and the second to act as the power behind the throne. They managed to make her flee Alexandria but she soon organized her own army and a civil war began in Egypt. Soon another sister of theirs started to claim the throne as Arsinoe IV further complicating the situation.-wikipedia.en
