Strictly speaking, when Napoleon invaded Egypt, the empire upon whose lands he was trespassing was the OTTOMAN EMPIRE. However, the Ottomans had very weak control over that area at the time. The local rulers were actually the MAMLUK Beys or Chieftains. While the Mamluks did not have de jureindependence, they were the effective rulers of Egypt.
