The founder of the dynasty, Psamtik I, was probably a descendant of Bakenrenef of the Twenty-fourth Dynasty.
The Twenty-sixth Dynasty may have been related to the Twenty-fourth Dynasty.
The chronological order
It is important to note that the chronological order of the pharaohs is an evolving subject and should therefore be treated with a certain degree of caution. As new research is conducted, the order may be subject to change, which is a fundamental principle that applies to all Egyptian dynasties.

When the Nubian king defeated Bakenrrnef of the Twenty-fourth Dynasty, he probably installed a Nubian commander as governor of Sais. According to Eusebius, this was Ammeris or Ameres "the Ethiopian", who is not mentioned by Africanus. Apart from the first and last kings, there is agreement on the names, but disagreement on the years.
