Marc Antony did not rule any part of Egypt. He ruled or had authority over all of Egypt and all of the eastern Roman territories. He was a Roman triumvir and his portion of the empire was the east. He had supreme power and authority there and that authority could be enforced by the Roman troops he commanded.
Octavian took power from Marc Antony because Antony divorced Octovia for Cleopatra and Octavian saw it as an insult. So Octavian set war on Antony but he escaped back to Egypt with Cleopatra. There the two committed suicide so they wouldn't be taken as prisoner by Octavian. Octavian then became Rome's sole rule.
She was foreign, and could not rule with Marc Antony.
Cleopatra ruled firmly from 47 BC to 30 BC. (Yes, she ruled before 47, but she was never completely in control at that time and was overthrown and exiled.)

Empress of Egypt, but not in the strict sense of the word. Although she did gain territories from Marc Antony, she never kept them long enough to establish Egyptian rule. She also had an empty title "Queen of Kings", that in some sense of the word would make her an empress, but again, she had no kings under her rule.
No his ex-wife did, but it only led to disaster. Marc Antony originally ruled Rome as Caesar's Master of the Horse while Caesar was in the East going after Pompey. He had a problem with unrest and came down hard on the rioters, incurring the anger of Caesar. When things were patched up between the two of them, and Antony was counsul with Caesar, Caesar was killed and Antony was the sole authority in Rome.
Marc Antony made an alliance with Cleopatra of Egypt to rule the east.
Octavian took power from Marc Antony because Antony divorced Octovia for Cleopatra and Octavian saw it as an insult. So Octavian set war on Antony but he escaped back to Egypt with Cleopatra.

No, none of Cleopatra's children ruled Egypt as it became a Roman province after Octavian's conquest. Her daughter did become a queen, but not of Egypt. Her two sons with Marc Antony fade from history and her oldest son, Caesarion was killed.No, none of Cleopatra's children ruled Egypt as it became a Roman province after Octavian's conquest.

Egypt had been under the rule of the Greek dynasty of the Ptolemys for about three centuries. A civil war broke out between Julius Caesar and the forces loyal ti the senate, led by Pompey, in Rome. A defeated Pompey fled to Egypt and was killed by the Egyptians. Caesar, in pursuit, also went to Egypt. The Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, became his lover and bore him a child. After Caesar's assassination Octavian and Marc Antony shared the Roman Empire. The former was in charge of the west and the latter was in charge of the east. Cleopatra became Marc Antony's lover and ally. They had three children. Octavian declared war on Cleopatra. This was a pretext to fight Marc Antony in a contest over who would become the sole rule of Rome and her territories. As their queen was dead, the Egyptians acclaimed Octavian their pharaoh.
Never. Marc Antony was the Roman ruler in the east. Cleopatra was a mere client queen of Rome. Egypt was an independent kingdom, not ruled by Rome at the time of Cleopatra. Egypt was not ruled by Rome until 30 BC when Octavian entered Alexandria.Never. Marc Antony was the Roman ruler in the east. Cleopatra was a mere client queen of Rome.

The suicides of Marc Antony came at the end of the last civil war of the Roman Republic. This was a fight between Marc Antony and Octavian over who would be the sole ruler of Rome and her territories. Following this, Octavian established his personal absolute rule and became the first Roman Emperor. This started the 503-year of rule by emperor. When Octavian became emperor he was given the title of Augustus. Historians use the name Augustus for the period when Octavian was emperor. Therefore, the death of Marc Antony and Cleopatra were part of the process which led to the end of the Roman Republic.
Hatshesput is one, who was the longest reigning female Pharaoh. She's not mentioned very much because she never really had the fame of being the last pharaoh to rule Egypt... Cleopatra, the latter mentioned, was also a powerful and influential ruler of Egypt, making alliances with Marc Antony and Julius Caesar before Caesar was killed in the now famous assassination. Cleopatra later committed suicide when Marc Antony lost to Augustus, or Octavianus Caesar, just in case you were wondering.
