Biography

edit

Jiluwi was born in about 1819.[1] He was the younger brother of King Abdulaziz's grandfather and the second ruler of the emirate, Faisal bin Turki.[2]

Jiluwi's mother was Huwaydiya bint Ghaidan bin Jazi bin Ali Al Shamir.[1][3] His parents married when Turki bin Abdullah took refuge with the Al Shamir branch of the Ajman tribe.[4] In fact, his name, Jiluwi (dialectically, Jlūwi), was originated from the Arabic phrase fi jalwatihi referring to a person in exile like Turki bin Abdullah.[4]

Jiluwi bin Turki accompanied his brother Faisal, ruler of the Emirate of Najd, when he was sent to exile in Egypt in the December 1838.[4][5] When they returned to Arabia and Faisal reestablished his rule Jiluwi was appointed governor of Qassim based in Unaizah in 1849.[5][6] Jiluwi served in the post until 1854.[4] Due to the tensions between local people and Faisal as well as due to the poor administration of Jiluwi a rebellion against the Emirate emerged in 1854.[7]

Jiluwi's spouse was Noura bint Ahmed Al Sudairi, sister of Sara bint Ahmed who was the mother of King Abdulaziz.[5][8] Jiluwi's two sons, Abdulaziz and Fahd, accompanied their cousin, Abdul Rahman bin Faisal, during the exile of the Al Saud family.[3] Another son, Abdullah, joined to them later[3] who would become the first and long-term governor of the Eastern Province following the capture of the region by Abdulaziz.[2][9]

Jiluwi's daughter, Sara, married Abdul Rahman bin Faisal, and one of their children was Muhammad.[10] The granddaughter of Jiluwi and Noura, Al Jawhara bint Musaed, married King Abdulaziz with whom she had three children, Prince Muhammad, King Khalid and Princess Al Anoud.[6][11]

Jiluwi bin Turki died in 1875.[1] His descendants are known as the Al Jiluwi branch of the Saudi royal family, House of Saud.[1][2]
