Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi II

Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi II was the ruler of Ajman, one of the Trucial States which today form the United Arab Emirates (UAE), from 1891 to 1900.

Following his 1891 accession, Humaid was a signatory to the 1892 Exclusive Agreement, which bound the Trucial Rulers not to enter into 'any agreement or correspondence with any Power other than the British Government' and that without British assent, they would not 'consent to the residence within my territory of the agent of any other government' and that they would not 'cede, sell, mortgage or otherwise give for occupation any part of my territory, save to the British Government.

The agreement, which formalised the de facto British protectorate over the Trucial States, came at a time when commercial interest was being shown in the Trucial States by other nations, including Germany, Turkey and France.

Humaid bin Rashid was not popular among his peers, having failed to pay allowances from the state revenue to his family members.
