Takhat was the mother of Amenmesse.
Their husband, Merneptah, was the son of Ramesses II and Isetnofret. During his reign, he led a victorious six-hour battle against a combined Libyan and Sea People force at the city of Perire. There is an account of the events from the Merneptah Stele, also known as the Israel Stele. It's considered to be the first extra-biblical reference to ancient Israel.
Merneptah was succeeded by Seti II (c. 1203-1197 BC), who was then succeeded by Amenmesse (c. 1201-1198 BC).
