Saʿūd bin ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz (Arabic: سعود بن عبدالعزيز; 1898 - 1920), (ruled: 1908–20). A boy of 10 when he was made emir, his maternal relatives of the Al Sabhan family ruled as regents on his behalf until he came of age, based on the constitution.
In 1920, he was assassinated by his cousin, Abdullah bin Talal (a brother of the 12th amir). Two of his widows remarried Ibn Saud: Norah bint Hammud Al Sabhan became his eight wife, and Fahda bint Asi Al Shuraim of the Abde section of the Shammar tribe became his ninth wife and the mother of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
