Person
Ahmed al-Fateh
Ahmed al-Fateh, Ahmad ibn Muhammad Al Khalifa, was the first Al Khalifa ruler of Bahrain. In 1783 the Al Khalifa and their allies of the Bani Utbah, based at Zubarah in Qatar, crossed to Bahrain and drove out the governor serving the sheikhs of Bushehr, earning him the name al-Fateh, "the Conqueror". He ruled until his death in 1796, and his descendants still rule Bahrain.
