قلعة بن شكبان و سقوط الدولة السعودية الأولى

الملخص EN

The current study aims to identify the castle of Ibn Shaqban, which had a prominent role and a close connection in the fall of the First Saudi State, as Muhammad Ali Pasha and his leaders were keen to bring it down.

This is a precise method of warfare in order to end the supplies that were reaching the FIRST SAUDI STATE, thus cutting off what is known as the supply & logistics and then starting to bring down Diriyah at the time.

Muhammad Ali Pasha followed a unified method with all castles of the first Saudi state, including the castle of Ibn Shaqban, where he imposed a prolonged siege on this castle, and despite the severe resistance shown by the people of Bisha at that time, they could not withstand the shells of the Ottoman cannons, which exceeded them in number and equipment as well.

The spatial boundaries of the study include the castle of Ibn Shaqban in Bisha and Ibn Shaqban's participations with the armies of the Saudi state.

The study also focused and dealt with various topics through three items, which are the location and description of the castle of Ibn Shakqban, Ibn Shaqban's situations with the Saudi state, and then the Ottoman campaigns on the Bisha castles.

The research concluded with a conclusion, bibliography and some appendices
