Ibn Saud (Abdulaziz Al Saud)
1875 CE–1953 CE · Riyadh
Abdulaziz Al Saud, commonly known as Ibn Saud (c. 1875–1953), was the founder and first king of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Beginning with the capture of Riyadh in 1902, he spent three decades uniting much of the Arabian Peninsula under his rule through a series of military and political campaigns. In 1932 he proclaimed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and became its first monarch. The discovery of oil during his reign began the transformation of the country's economy, and he ruled until his death in 1953.
