According to this website http://www.ccds.charlotte.nc.us/History/Egypt/save/cramer/cramer.htm, Ramses had about numerous concubines and wives, but his first wife, Queen Nefertari was the one he chose as the "Great Royal Wife" and "Mistress of the Upper and Lower Nile". Ramses married Nefertari before he assumed the Egyptian throne, she bore his first son Amen-Hir-Khopshef(one of his 168 children). Nefertari passed when Ramses was only 48 years old.But it is not as bad as you think. Ramses had a plethora of wives. Some of them were his daughters! In actual fact, his 4th wife was his sister.
Ramses had over a hundred of kids and according to http://homeschooling.about.com/od/favoritehistoricalfigure/p/ramses.htm he had 90 sons after he died. His first thirteen sons he outlived.
