Saud ibn Abd al-Aziz ibn Saud

Saud Al Kabeer bin Abdulaziz Al Saud ( Suʿūd Al Kabīr ibn ʿAbdulʿazīz Āl Suʿūd; 1882–1959) was a grandson of Saud bin Faisal bin Turki and a distant nephew and important supporter of King Abdulaziz, founder of Saudi Arabia. Prince Saud was one of the most known Najdi people.

Following the capture of Riyadh by the Rashidi Emir Muhammad bin Abdullah in 1891 Saud and his relatives were arrested and taken to Hail. In 1904 Abdulaziz took Qasim where he found that Prince Saud and his five brothers under the rule of the Al Rashid. Abdulaziz brought back all of his nephews\\ to Riyadh and made them part of his circle, but gave them no political position. An internal family dispute within the Al Saud family resulted in Prince Saud and some of his brothers and cousins leaving Riyadh to Al-Kharj. Only through their assistance Abdulaziz managed to defeat the Al Ajman tribe who surrounded Abdulaziz's forces for almost six months after killing Abdulaziz's younger brother Saad bin Abdul Rahman and wounding 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 to dispute tribal issues.
