Talal bin Abdullah Al Rashid (1823–11 March 1868) was the second ruler of the Emirate of Jabal Shammar.[1] He was a skillful ruler who died by suicide.[2][3] Unlike the founding ruler, Abdullah, who was titled as sheikh, the rulers of Jabal Shammar began to be referred to as emirs with the reign of Talal.[1] In addition, Talal managed to create a state-like administration in the Emirate which had been based on the tribal alliance during the reign of Abdullah.[4]

Early life

Talal bin Abdullah was born in 1823.[5] He was the eldest of Abdullah Al Rashid's three sons, and his brothers were Mutaib and Mohammad.[6]

Reign

Talal succeeded his father in 1848 without any dispute in the family.[4][7] In addition, his succession was supported by the locals.[4]

Faisal bin Turki, Emir of Nejd, and then with his son and successor, Abdullah bin Faisal.[9] In the 1860s Faisal bin Shalaan occupied Al Jouf region which had been under Talal's rule.[11]

Talal's reign lasted until 11 March 1868 when he killed himself with a pistol.[6][12] The reason for the suicide was his illness, possibly ulcer, that he thought cureless.[6] Following his death his younger brother Mutaib bin Abdullah became the Emir of Jabal Shammar and briefly ruled the Emirate between March and July 1868.[6][12]

Personal life

Talal married three women from

Al Saud.[7] The latter was Noura, daughter of his ally Emir Abdullah of Nejd.[13] There is also another report arguing that he married a daughter of Faisal bin Turki, Emir Abdullah's father.[5] Talal had seven sons, including Bandar, Badr and Nayef.[6][14] The former also served as the Emir of Jabal Shammar in 1869,[6] but soon he was killed by his uncle Muhammad bin Abdullah.[12]
