Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi

Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi was the Ruler of Ajman, one of the Trucial States which today form the United Arab Emirates (UAE), from 1838 to 1841,[1] when he was deposed by his brother, Abdelaziz bin Rashid Al Nuaimi.

He married a daughter of Sheikh Sultan bin Saqr Al Qasimi who was, at the time, Ruler of Sharjah[1] and with whom Humaid was closely allied.

In 1841, his brother Abdelaziz took possession of Ajman fort and declared himself Ruler.

In 1848 Abdelaziz was killed in a fight with Hamriyah and Humaid, who was also wounded in the conflict, became Ruler once again.

Humaid was signatory to the Perpetual Maritime Truce with the British, signed on 4 May 1853.
