Link: Ptolemaic Dynasty
The children Ptolemy V were Ptolemy VI, Ptolemy VIII, and (probably) Cleopatra II.
Ptolemy VI of Egypt married (his probable full sister) Cleopatra II. Their children included Ptolemy VII (also called Ptolemy Eupator) and Cleopatra III.
Ptolemy VIII married Cleopatra II (his probable full sister) and Cleopatra III (his niece). The children of Ptolemy VIII and Cleopatra III included Ptolemy IX, Ptolemy X, Cleopatra IV, and Cleopatra V (Cleopatra Selene).
Ptolemy IX married his sisters Cleopatra IV and Cleopatra V (Cleopatra Selene), and was the father of Ptolemy XII and Berenice III.
Ptolemy X married twice. His first wife is uncertain, but may have been his full sister Cleopatra V (Cleopatra Selene). His second wife was his niece Berenice III (daughter of Ptolemy IX and probably Cleopatra V Selene). By his first wife, Ptolemy X had a son Ptolemy XI.
Ptolemy XII was the (possibly illegitimate) son of Ptolemy IX by an unknown mother (but in the link below identified as his first wife, Cleopatra IV). He married Cleopatra VI (perhaps a daughter Ptolemy X and Berenice III). Their children included Ptolemy XIII, Ptolemy XIV, and Cleopatra VII.
Some of these relationships are uncertain. There is a helpful table in the link below.
