Turki ibn Abdullah (ترکی بن عبدللہ) was the founder of the Second Saudi State and ruled the area of Najd during the period from 1821-1834 following occupation by the Ottoman Empire. Turki was born in 1755 to Abdallah ibn Muhammad, the brother of Abd al-Aziz ibn Muhammad , who ruled as the second Imam of the First Saudi State. Leadership of the state now passed to this branch of the family after the defeat of Abdallah ibn Saud ibn Abd al-Aziz in 1818 by Egyptian forces at Dir'iyyah. Turki ibn Abdallah managed to escape into the desert after the fall of Dir'iyyah and avoid capture, where he found refuge among Bedouin tribes. He reappeared in 1821 to lead a revolt against the Egyptian occupiers and was successful in establishing his position as ruler of Dir'iyyah and surrounding area. Now the legitimate Imam, he adopted Riyadh as the new capital of the state. He survived a revolt in 1827 led by Mushari ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Mushari, a distant cousin, but was assasinatd by the ambitious Mushari in 1834. Turki was succeeded by his son Faisal, who was on operation to the east but hurried back to deal with the usurper. Turki was the progenitor of four branches of the Saud family, the Al Faisal (through his son and successor Faisal ibn Turki), the Al Jiluwi (through his son Jiluwi ibn Turki, born while Turki was in exile with the Bedouin), the Al Turki (through his son Abdallah ibn Turki) and the Saud al-Kabir branch (through Saud ibn Abd al-Aziz ibn Saud, a descendant of Faisal).
