Talal bin Abdullah Al Rashid (Arabic: طلال بن عبد الله الرشيد; 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]
