To answer the overall question is difficult without specifying which Ramses you are referring to.
And in response to Yeshua's post, I have to say:
There has never been concrete (or otherwise) evidence to prove that Ramses II was the Pharaoh mentioned in the Bible. That is just a theory. Others have suggested that the biblical Pharaoh was Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten (because of the pandemic at the end of Akhenaten's rule that originated in Egypt and spread throughout the Middle East). And still others have suggested that the biblical Pharaoh was neither Ramses nor Akhenaten, but some obscure ruler as yet unidentified.

Yes there was more than one.
Hard to tell with Pharaohs having similar names. The one in the Bible is Rameses II - Also known as Rameses the Great.
