Sa'ad bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud (1890–1915) was the brother of

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
). He was one of Abdulaziz's most devoted supporters and a key lieutenant in his early military campaigns.

Early life

Sa'ad was born in 1890.

Emir of Nejd, Abdul Rahman bin Faisal, from his marriage to Sara bint Ahmed Al Sudairi.[2][3][4] His full-siblings were Faisal, Noura, Abdulaziz and Bazza and Haya.[4] He also had a number of half-siblings from his father's other marriages,[5] including Muhammad, Abdullah, Ahmed, and Musaid, who all had roles in the Saudi government.[6]

The Al Saud family were exiled shortly after Sa'ad's birth, settling in Kuwait. After his brother Abdulaziz captured Riyadh, Sa'ad returned there.

Mubarak Al Sabah sent nearly seventy warriors to Riyadh who were led by Sa'ad.[7]

Arrest and death

In 1912 Sa'ad was sent by Emir Abdulaziz to meet

Ottoman government in the region as well as to pay an annual sum of money to the Ottoman government for Sa'ad's release.[8] Abdulaziz accepted all these requests signing a paper, and Sa'ad was released.[8][10]

Sa'ad was killed in the

Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.[13]

Personal life

One of Sa'ad's wives, Sara bint Abdullah Al Sheikh, was the sister of

Tarfa bint Abdullah, mother of King Faisal.[5][14] Another of his wives was Jawhara bint Saad Al Sudairi.[15] Following the death of Sa'ad she married Abdulaziz, with whom she had at least four children.[15][16]

Sa'ad's sons, Faisal, Fahd, and Saud, were taken in by Abdulaziz and raised as part of his own family. They later married to King Abdulaziz's daughters. Of them, Prince Faisal bin Sa'ad married the King's daughter

Muhammad bin Abdulaziz.[17] Sa'ad's grandson, Bandar bin Saud, a former air force pilot, was among the victims in the Swissair Flight 111 accident on his way from New York City to Geneva on 2 September 1998.[18]
