The Pharaohs ruled the Kingdom of Egypt from the establishment of Ancient Egypt in 3150 BC. Egypt in the Middle Ages was a major power center in the Islamic world. The title of the Emir of Egypt, was used in two periods; from AD 868 to 905, and 935 to 969, respectively. Since AD 1174, the head of state has been the Sultan of Egypt to 1517. The title of the Egyptian monarch changed to Khedive of Egypt in 1805, followed by the Sultan of Egypt in 1914, to the King of Egypt in 1922.
