AND ANALYSIS.
li
rebellion of Seif and Sultan, his fourth and fifth sons, which
embittered the end of his reign, originated in their ambi
tion to supplant their brothers, whose claims might per
chance be preferred to theirs. The manner in which they
sought to avert such a contingency was by seducing the
people from their allegiance to their father, and by securing
beforehand the fortifications of Maskat, which by this time
had eclipsed er-Rastak in importance, and become the most
lucrative possession in the kingdom.
A collateral evil to that just noticed sprang up almost
simultaneously. The Imam had to provide for his sons,
the " Seyyids," or Princes, as they now began to be styled,
and in doing so generally gave them a town, with its usual
defences, by way of appanage. The practice thus initiated
gradually developed into a system, and the Seyyids thereafter
claimed it as a prerogative that some portion of the terri
tories of the state should be allotted to their separate juris
diction and support. The gift nominally involved feudal
obedience on the part of the recipient, and was liable to be
revoked; but it was not always feasible either to exact the
submission of a prince of the blood or to dispossess him when
once he had established himself in his petty domain and
formed alliances with neighbouring tribes. 1 he subsequent
annals of 'Oman are replete with accounts of ever-recurring
feuds between the sovereign for the time being and rival
Seyyids arising mainly from this source.
Ahmed left seven sons, namely,—
Also three daughters, whose names the author reserves,
iC for propriety's sake." 1 The chiefs and people had wished
1 One of them, whom the author styles the " Imam s daughter,
played a conspicuous part in the political affairs of the country up to
the regency of the late Seyyid Sa id.
