Azzan bin Qais
Sultan of Oman
Imam Azzan bin Qais (Arabic: الإمام عزان بن قيس) was the Imam of Oman between 1868 and 1871. He deposed his cousin, Salim bin Thuwaini, and declared a short-lived Ibadi imamate in Oman.[1] Opposing Saudi interference in the Buraimi Oasis, he fought against Salim's uncle, Sayyid Turki bin Said at the Battle of Dhank, before being killed in battle at Muttrah in January 1871.[2]
