Azzan ibn Qais
Azzan ibn Qais was a member of the Al Bu Said family who, backed by the Ibadi religious leaders of the Omani interior, took Muscat in 1868 and was elected imam. His government tried to restore a strict Ibadi imamate on the coast, but it lacked British support and was overthrown by Sultan Turki ibn Said, who defeated and killed him in 1871.
