Excerpt from History Im???ms and Seyyids of 'Om???n Shortly after the death of the Seyyid Sa'id-bin Sultan, the sovereign of 'oma.n and its East African dependencies, who died a.d. 1856, war became immi nent between his two Sons, the late Seyyid Thu wainy, who had succeeded to the Principality of 'oman, and the late Seyyid Majid, who claimed Zanzibar, the neighbouring islands, and the Arab settlements on the adjacent mainland.
