Fadl ibn Ali
Fadl ibn Ali al-Abdali was the founder of the independent Sultanate of Lahej in southern Arabia, ruling from about 1728 to 1742. Leading the Abdali tribe, he threw off the authority of the Zaydi imams of the Qasimid State in Yemen and took control of Lahej and the port of Aden, which his descendants held until the British seized it in 1839.
