Sheikdom of Upper Asir
The Sheikdom of Upper Asir was an Arab state which was established in August 1916, after it broke away from the Idrisid Emirate of Asir. It was led by Al-Hasan Bin Ayad. It became a protectorate of the Kingdom of Hejaz in 1920. The region was occupied and annexed by the Sultanate of Nejd in 1923, which would later become modern-day Saudi Arabia.
