Conquest of Ha'il

Conquest of Ha'il, also referred to as the Third Saudi–Rashidi War, was engaged by the Saudi forces, which received British military assistance and its ally Ikhwan tribesmen upon the Emirate of Jabal Shammar, under the last Rashidi ruler Muhammad bin Talal Al Rashid. On November 2, 1921, the last Al Rashid dynasty rulers surrendered Jabal Shammar to the Saudi forces.

Forced divorce and marriage

Abdulaziz imprisoned the Muhammad bin Talal Al Rashid and forced him to divorce one of his wives, Noura bint Sibhan, whom Abdulaziz then married. Abdulaziz soon divorced Noura and married Muhammad's daughter Jawaher from one of his other wives.

Naming

The Emirate of Jabal Shammar had its capital in the city of Ha'il, and was also known as the "Emirate of Ha'il". The Conquest of Ha'il is also often mistakenly labeled as the Second Saud-Rashidi War.
