Talk:Zeid bin Hussein

Zeid and Lawrence
Anyone interested might want to check out the December 2007 issue of Vanity Fair which includes a 1918 map drawn by T.E Lawrence of the Middle East in which he suggested Zeid be made King of Syria. French rule negated that possibility and he was sent to Iraq to help his brother instead, which is why his royal house is connected to Iraq and why Damascus has an ongoing dispute with the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan.Seth J.

 * In 1918, T. E. Lawrence suggested that Zeid be made king of a truncated Syria. Apparently, Lawrence opposed the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 16 May 1916, as to post-war territorial spheres of influence in the Middle East, which was eventually put into effect. When he attended the Paris peace negotiations in 1919, it was unclear whether he represented the Foreign Office and/or Hussein bin Ali, the ruler of the Hejaz.  Rick Fountain reported that documents show "the probability that Colonel Lawrence was working for the British Secret Service" .User:Fconaway (talk) 22:50, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Exclusion of the Jordaninan line from the Iraqi succession.
When was the Jordaninan line excluded from the Iraqi succession, so that Zeid overpassed them? --128.72.207.249 (talk) 10:30, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
