Research Notes:
530-522 BC: Grand King of Persia [Ref: Settipani LGA p144]

successor of Kyros III The Great [Ref: Settipani LGA p154]

525 BC: conquered Egypt [Ref: Settipani LGA p155]

Cambyses' triumph resulted in Egypt's incorporation into the Persian Empire, a situation which prevailed for over a century, and was renewed for a further decade before the final extinction of the empire and the onslaught of Alexander the Great. From the outset, the Persian kings took the role of Egyptian Pharaohs, having an Egyptian titulary composed for them [Ref: Dodson Egypt p248]

in accordance with Egyptian royal practices, married his own sister [Ref: Settipani LGA p155]

possibly an additional marriage to another sister of Atossa [Ref: Dodson Egypt p250]

at the death of Kambyses II, the aristocracy revolted against his successor Bardiya, that the conqueror Dareios presented (wrongly or rightly, and probably wrongly) as a usurper, having taken the place of the Bardiya who was executed years earlier in secret by Kambyses [Ref: Settipani LGA p139]

at the end of his reign, a man claiming to be the king's brother, Bardiya, rose in revolt against him and ruled for a brief period following Cambyses' accidental death; he was then killed by a group led by Darius I. It was claimed at the time that "Bardiya" had already been killed, and that the rebel was actually Gaumata, an imposter. On the other hand, the story may have been invented by Darius to cover up his own murder of the real Bardiya [Ref: Dodson Egypt p253]

Herodotus reports that the Egyptians called Cambyses son of Nitetis, but this name represents the goddess Neith, and the title "son of Neith" was common among 26th dynasty pharaohs. [Ref: Chris Bennett SGM 10/23/1995]
