[edit] The Wives of Ibn Saud (and more)

There are two different birth dates listed. Which is correct? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.9.243.111 (talk) 18:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC).

This site ( http://www.medea.be/?page=0&lang=en&idx=0&doc=271 ) identifies the mother of Crown Prince Abdullah as 'Fahda bint Asi al-Shuraym' and the mother of King Faisal II as 'Tarfah bint Abdullah al-Shaykh Abdul-Wahab'. This site has 7 out of 16 of his wives, and i'm looking for some sort of backup on mothers of Faisal and Abdullah. RobbieFal 01:10, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC

[edit] Towel-Head

[edit] photo of brother??

This website: http://images.rgs.org/imageDetails.aspx?barcode=26005 identify the man in the photo taken by Shakespear as the brother of Ibn Saud...--145.94.41.95 17:28, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yep, it's strange; there's one source that states he is ibn saud; one that states he is his brother; an independent 3rd source would help... (but at least it's a high quality PD-photo. Adolar von Csobánka (Talk) 20:30, 11 August 2005 (UTC) :))

[edit] Sa'ad Ibn Saud

Hi, he's the younger brother of Abdulaziz Ibn Sa'ud, named Sa'ad Ibn Sa'ud. He was killed in 1915 in the battle of Kanzan fighting against the Al-Ajmaan tribe, north of the town of Hasa in northern Arabia. Abdulaziz himself barely survived that battle, being injured by a sword thrust to his stomach, he was carried away by his bodyguards. Needless to say, the Saudi coalition of tribes lost that battle.

[edit] Ibn Saud ?

hey guys,, the King's name is Abdulaziz Al-Saud, why is the article's name "Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia" and not "King Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia"

The answer lies in the first paragraph of his biography.

[edit] Vandalism?

A whole lot of this article has been cut out, including a good picture of Ibn Saud himself and alot of useful info. Why?

[edit] Personal Physique?

Hi,

can anyone with good sources buff up this article please, with perhaps a section regarding King AbdulAziz'z physique. One thing I could say, is that he was 6'5"...

Well not many of his sons see to be 6'5. The present King is not that and neither was Fahd, Khaled etc... Genetics plays 50% in determining one's height. So Ibn Saud may have been tall but he does not seem to have been 6'5. 85.3.111.66

He was very tall. Gertrude Bell described him as being 'over 6'3"'. (I'll post that in the article if I can find the reference). Judging by photos of him with T E Lawrence, whose height was known, we can deduce he was around 6'4" - but I dare not post that in the article or someone will scream 'original research!' :) Anjouli 07:29, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

And he would be right to do so. Find us a photo of Saud with TE Lawrence.

[edit] Something strage

It is written:

"By Haya bint Sa'ad al-Sudairy (1913 - April 18, 2003)

1. Moosa (born 1923)"

This Moosa was born when his mother was ten years old!? I guess there is some mistake here, and also that Ibn Saud wasn't a pedophile or something like that. HustonJMarble 18:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

A valid source, datarabia.com does not mention many of those children that Ibn Saud had with this wife. Some of the names may have beena added just like thta by a jokster.

[edit] Foreign Wars

Someone should something about Ibn Saud's war with Yemen.

[edit] Family Tree

It is pretty well detailed with date of births and date of deaths for the children of Ibn Saud. But some of the names was not found in saudi sources on Al saud family tree. For instance Hiduhl has no full siblings according to those sources.

[edit] Majesty?

Was he styled His Majesty? From which time?
