Sheikdom of Upper Asir

1916–1920 state in the Arabian Peninsula

The Sheikdom of Upper Asir was an Arab state which was established in August 1916,[1] after it broke away from the Idrisid Emirate of Asir,[2] possibly with Hejazi aid.[3] It was led by Hasan bin Ali al-Ayed.[1] In 1920, Upper Asir faced Ikhwan revolts and Ibn Aidh's reign was threatened.[3] In April to May 1920, Ibn Saud of the Emirate of Nejd intervened in support of the Ikhwan and defeated Ibn Aidh.[3] Upper Asir was then partitioned between the Saudi and the Idrisi on 30 August 1920.[3]
