Khedive

n. title of the Turkish viceroys who governed Egypt in the late 1800's

For the HMS Khedive', see USS Cordova. Khedive (from Persian for "lord"; Arabic: خديوي ) was a title first used by Muhammad Ali Pasha as governor and monarch of Egypt and Sudan, and subsequently by his dynastic successors. Officially, he and his successors held the title as tributary to the Ottoman Empire, though in reality the writ of the Porte did not extend to Egypt after Muhammad Ali's seizure of power.
