Ptolemy X Alexander orders the death of his mother, Cleopatra III, in 101 BCE, and from this point rules either alone or with his niece/wife, Berenice III, the daughter of his brother Soter and either Cleopatra Selene or Cleopatra IV, who he marries following his murder of her grandmother.

The death of Cleopatra III effectively ends the protracted civil war in Syria.
