Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Rashid (Arabic: سعود بن عبدالعزيز الرشيد Suʿūd ibn ʿAbdulʿazīz Āl Rašid; 1898 – 1920) was the tenth Emir of Jabal Shammar between 1908 and 1920.[1]
An assassination attempt on him by his uncle and then emir Sultan bin Hammud, had failed when he was young. A boy of 10 when he was made emir, his grandmother, Fatima Al Zamil, and his maternal relatives of the Al Sabhan family ruled as regents on his behalf until 1914[2] based on the constitution. Saud defeated the forces of Ibn Saud in the battle of Jarrab on 24 January 1915.[3] In the battle Ibn Saud's British companion Captain Shakespear was killed.[3]
In 1920, he was assassinated by his cousin, Abdullah bin Talal. One of his widows remarried Ibn Saud: Fahda bint Asi bin Shuraim Al Shammari of the Abda section of the Shammar tribe became his ninth wife and the mother of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
