The founder of the Saudi royal family was Abdullah Aziz Ibn Saud, born in 1880 in Riyadh, a nomadic tribal patriarch family. In 1891, the Ibn Saud family was hit by a pre-planned blood-washing ambush and suffered heavy losses. Surviving Ibn Saud as his father flees to Kuwait seeking asylum from Kuwaiti chief Bakh Mubarak.
Mubarak readily promised, as another family with the Saudi family generation, and because of his longstanding relationship with Ibn Saud, he found the young man gifted and talented, often telling him some of the country's most important and diplomatic Road and military strategy. During the period of Kuwait's life, Ibn Saud traveled extensively and received considerable influence due to his longstanding stay in the middle of political ranks. Young age has a great talent.
In 1901, Ibn Saud, who was in his early twenties, recovered from Riyadh with only a few dozen camels and dozens of guns with the help of Mubarak. In the following thirty years, Ibn Saud has successively captured Ha Medina, Mecca and Jeddah under the Khim family conquered lid Lyceum and Ha Sa.
In 1932, Ibn Saud changed the kingdom name "Hasa and Nei and their affiliated territories" to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia named after his family. Ibn Saud became the first generation of kings.
Saudi Arabia faces financial difficulties due to prolonged fighting. Coupled with the sovereignty of the various major tribal kingdom, even if the defiance of the king, the king is helpless.

After all, becoming kinsmen with the kings, which is also an unexpected benefit to the development of the tribe, as compared to the promise of nimbly, Ibn Saud conquered the great tribes by this move, truly unified the country and strengthened its Right to rule. Coupled with the huge oil reserves, Saudi Arabia's economy rapidly by leaps and bounds, into the rhythm of modernization, becoming a power in the Middle East.
But that also means that he must marry 300 women, something terrifying and provocative to a man. Moreover, according to historical records, Ibn Saud has hundreds of royal descendants, dozens of sons with legal succession status, coupled with the prosperity of the Kingdom and the continued prosperity of these descendants. There are tens of thousands of members now registered in the royal family in Saudi Arabia, and more than 5,000 are male members (women are not counted as specific members).
