The Sheikdom of Upper Asir was an Arab state which was established in August 1916,[1] after it broke away from the Idrisid Emirate of Asir.[2] It was led by Al-Hasan Bin Ayad.[1] It became a protectorate of the Kingdom of Hejaz in 1920.[2] The region was occupied and annexed by the Sultanate of Nejd in 1923,[2] which would later become modern-day Saudi Arabia.
