Biography

Prince Saud was born in Riyadh in 1882.[1][2] Prince Saud was the eldest son of Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Faisal and Wahda bint Hazam Al Hithlain of Ajman.[1] He was one of the most prominent figures and knights of the Al-Saud family, a notable family of Saudi Arabia.

He played a vital role in uniting the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, having fought side by side with Abdulaziz in many battles and having led the armies to reclaim many lands. He helped reclaim Hail, Jeddah, and Sablah. He played a pivotal role in the battles of the Al Qassim region. He also led the Saudi army to reclaim the west coast of the Arabian peninsula including Rabigh, Yanbu, and Medina.

He married to Noura bint Abdul Rahman Al Saud the sister of King Abdulaziz.[3] And later on after her death, he married Hessa, the daughter of King Abdulaziz.[3] His son, Mohammad bin Saud, whose mother was Noura bint Abdul Rahman was a senior and respected prince due to his powerful tribal knowledge and connections.[4] One of the early palaces following the establishment of the Kingdom was built by Prince Saud outside Riyadh called Al Shamsiah Palace[5] which is in the Al Murabba neighborhood.[3]

Because he was respected and loved by the people, and also due to his vast knowledge of religion, King Abdulaziz would rely on Prince Saud the great to dispute tribal issues.

He was named "the great" because he was older than King Abdulaziz's identically named son, and also due to his high stature. He died in 1959.[2]
