1828 CE to 1971 CE
Said ibn Taimur's policies frustrate many, not only in Oman but also in Britain, whose citizens are heavily involved in the sultan's military and intelligence apparatus.
By 1970 these elements decide they can bear with the situation no longer; a coalition of Omani military and civilian forces, as well as British forces, attacks the palace and forces Said ibn Taimur to abdicate.
They replace him with his son, Qaboos bin Said Al Said, who has played no role in Said ibn Taimur's government.
The sultan had actually locked his son in the palace for fear that Qaboos bin Said, who had been educated in Britain, would challenge his archconservative policies.
