Faisal bin Turki,

Turki bin Said as Sultan. Upon his death in 1913, he was succeeded by his eldest son Taimur bin Faisal
.

Life

On assuming power in 1888, Faisal ibn Turki gradually found his authority over the interior weakened as tribal leaders increasingly perceived his dependence on

Muscat was captured. British political agents frustrated his efforts to recapture Muscat, compelling him to court the French. He granted the French coaling facilities for their fleet at Bandar Jissah near Muscat.[citation needed
]

Determined to thwart any growth in French presence in what Britain considered its sphere of influence, Britain presented Faisal ibn Turki with an ultimatum in 1899 ordering the sultan to board the British flagship or Muscat would be bombarded. Having little recourse, Faisal ibn Turki capitulated. Publicly humiliated, his authority was irreversibly damaged. In 1903 he asked Lord

Tanuf and spearheaded a revolt against the sultan that combined both Hinawi and Ghafiri tribal groups.[citation needed

On Faisal's death, he was succeeded by his second son,

Sultan Haitham
, the current ruler of Oman, is a direct descendant of Faisal bin Turki.
