Biography
Prince Saud was the eldest son of Abdulaziz ibn Saud ibn Faisal. 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 was the cousin of King Abdulaziz and was married to Norah the sister of King Abdulaziz. And later on after her death, he married Hessa, the daughter of King Abdulaziz.
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 the year 1379 AH (1959 CE), six years after the death of King Abdulaziz.
