Bandar ben Talal al-Rachid

Bandar bin Talal Al Rashid (; 1850 – 1869) was one of the rulers of the Emirate of Jabal Shammar. His very brief reign barely lasted a year. He had killed his uncle, Mutaib, to become the emir and was murdered by his other uncle, Muhammad, who ruled the Emirate from 1869 until 1897.

Biography Bandar was born in around 1850. He was the eldest son of the second emir Talal bin Abdullah and a grandson of Abdullah bin Ali Al Rashid who founded the Emirate in 1836. The reason for the killing of Mutaib was his maltreatment of them. However, the exile of Muhammad had very undesired effects on the commercial activities since he was very competent in managing the caravan and Hajj-related activities, and Bandar went to Riyadh and asked his uncle to return to Hail who accepted his offer and continued to assume his previous post.

In 1869 Bandar was killed by his uncle, Muhammad bin Abdullah, because of the disputes. Following this, Bandar's brothers went into exile. However, another report suggests that Muhammad bin Abdullah executed Bandar's brothers and other members of the family following the murder of Bandar.
