Hazza bin Sultan Al Nahyan

[3] Hazza's younger brother Khalid was caught up in the violence in Abu Dhabi, and wounded before seeking refuge with the Qubaisat, his mother's family.

[4] Hazza and Shakhbut subsequently fled Al Ain and travelled in search of refuge to Sharjah, al-Hasa, Wakra, Delma, Qatar and then Riyadh.

Well-versed in tribal affairs and commanding widespread respect, Hazza was keen on falconry, a love for the sport that was shared by his younger brother, Zayed, who was the Ruler's Representative in the Eastern Region.

[6] Hazza led a mission to Saudi Arabia in 1922, representing his brother and earning a rebuke from the British as they reserved to themselves all foreign relations of the Trucial States,[2] the result of the 'Exclusive Agreement' of 1892.

[9] Of the many tribal disputes, Hazza was to rule over, one was to have British explorer Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin guide freed from Sharjah prison - Salim Bin Ghabaishah, a Rashidi, went raiding with the Awamir in 1950 and was captured by the Bani Qitab.

[13] Hazza's health was declining at the time of the Buraimi Dispute, and despite undergoing treatment in the United States and India, he died on 20 January 1958.
