Prince Mṣṭfi Al-šhābī Portrait
A prince is a male ruler (ranked below a king, grand prince, and grand duke) or a male member of a monarch's or former monarch's family. ''Prince'' is also a title of nobility (often highest), often hereditary, in some European states. The female equivalent is a princess.

Sulayman Al-Murshid

Early beginnings Sulayman al-Murshid was born as Sulayman Yunus () in the village of Jawbat Burghal, in the Latakia Sanjak. His emerging power worried both local notable Alawite families and the French authorities, who arranged to have him and some of his followers sent to Raqqa in exile in the mid-1920s. Yet when al-Murshid returned, he managed to patch up his problems with local notables, not least through strategic marriages. In 1937, he became a member of Parliament, and avoided the separatist approach advocated for by some among Syria's minority groups. Yet once it appeared that the French would not make good on their promise to grant Syria independence in 1936, al-Murshid began to call for separatism again. In 1943, he was elected again as a member of the central Syrian Parliament. In 1944, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
