Episode 3 of 4

Support for Khalid bin Saud

When: date unknown
Where: Nejd
Part of: Khalid bin Saud usurps the throne from Faisal bin Turki in Nejd

Khurshid Pasha supported Khalid bin Saud, a second-cousin of Faisal, as a rival candidate against Faisal's rule in Nejd.

Faisal continued to oppose the Ottoman forces, and the Egyptian governor of Arabia, Khurshid Pasha, supported a rival candidate. This candidate was Khalid bin Saud, identified as a second-cousin of Faisal. The passages do not date when this support began, so the 1839 legacy date is treated as a placeholder rather than an evidenced year.
