Mutlaq bin Muhammad al-Mutairi or simply Mutlaq bin Muhammad (died 1813 AD / 1228 AH), was a Saudi general under the authority of the Emirate of Diriyah. He was well known for his invasion of Oman until his death during a skirmish at Bidiya.[1]
Military campaigns in Oman
Mutlaq gained the trust of many Saudi Imams due to his military and leadership experience.[2] He was chosen as Emir of the Saudi army, in which he led a huge military invasion against the Omani Empire.[3]
Conquests
During his conquests, he would conquer cities, build palaces, roads, and would even increase agriculture in the regions. His most notable feat was the Battle of Izki where his forces sacked Muttrah and defeated a mixed force of Qajars and Omanis.[2][4][5]
Death
When Mutlaq left Izki, a group led by Said bin Sultan followed Mutlaq. Said bin Sultan would then reach the camp of Mutlaq and later on persuaded him to withdraw outside Oman.[2] Mutlaq issued an order to the greater part of his army to withdraw. Due to this advantage, the Omanis attacked his camp three times until they killed him. Mutlaq was shot by an arrow and fell face down from his horse.[3][1]
