Muhammad bin Talāl Al Rashid (Template:Lang-ar; c.1904 – 1954), was the twelfth and last ruler of the Jabal Shammar Emirate in Ha'il. He reigned from early 1920 to 2 November, 1921.
Reign
Muhammad began his rule in early 1921, after Prince Abdullah's reign ended, which signaled the end of the Emirate of Jabal Shammar. Abdulaziz Al Saud made it his goal to include Ha'il, and by extension, the rest of the territory occupied by Jabal Shammar, in his nation.[1] Muhammad bin Talāl, the people of Ha'il, the Shammar tribe, and the Bani Tamim tribe fought several battles against the Al Saud forces, but King Abdulaziz reigned triumphant, where the Kingdom of Ha'il (Jabal Shammar) joined the Saudi State.
Fall of Ha'il
Ha'il fell at the hands of King Abdulaziz on 2 November 1921 where upon the fall, Prince Muhammad bin Talāl moved to Riyadh, and Musaed bin Abdulaziz Al Saud married his daughter, Princess Watfa, who bore Musaed a son, Faisal, who later assassinated King Faisal[2]
Death
Muhammad bin Talāl died in Riyadh in 1954.
