Nominally a dependency of Sharjah, then Abu Dhabi,[2] Fujairah was effectively independent following a number of conflicts, not least of which were with its neighbours, the Sharjah dependencies of Kalba and Khor Fakkan.[3]

Sheikh Said bin Hamad took over from his long-lived and strong father Hamad Al Sharqi, who had fought all his life for independence for Fujairah from Sharjah and for British recognition of Fujairah as a Trucial State in its own right. That dream would come true for his younger brother, Mohammed bin Hamad, who acceded in 1938 or 1939 on Saif's death.[4]

Notes

  1. Sources disagree on the dates of Saif's rule. Heard-Bey puts it as 'early 1930s until 1939', while Zahlan has him dying in 1938.
