Forced divorce and marriage
editAbdulaziz imprisoned the Muhammad bin Talal Al Rashid and forced him to divorce one of his wives, Noura bint Sibhan, whom Abdulaziz then married.[2] Abdulaziz soon divorced Noura[2] and married Muhammad's daughter Jawaher from one of his other wives.[2]
Naming
editThe Emirate of Jabal Shammar had its capital in the city of Ha'il,[3] and was also known as the "Emirate of Ha'il".[4] The Conquest of Ha'il is also often mistakenly labeled as the Second Saud-Rashidi War.
