Abdulaziz bin Musaed bin Jiluwi Al Saud (1885–1977; Arabic: عبدالعزيز بن مساعد بن جلوي آل سعود) was a Saudi Arabian military commander and royal. He played a key role in the campaigns led by Ibn Saud, including the conquest of Asir, where he commanded a contingent that secured the surrender of Abha.[1] He was the brother-in-law of Ibn Saud, the maternal uncle of future King Khalid, and the father-in-law of future King Fahd.
Biography
[edit]Abdulaziz bin Musaed was the grandson of Jiluwi bin Turki and the full brother of Al Jawhara bint Musaed. He grew up an orphan after his father Musaed bin Jiluwi was killed during the fall of the Second Saudi state in 1891. His sister Al Jawhara married their second cousin Ibn Saud, who later became the first King of Saudi Arabia. Al Jawhara and Ibn Saud had three children: King Khalid, Prince Mohammed, and Princess Al Anoud.[2]
Ibn Saud sent Abdulaziz bin Musaed with a strong contingent of warriors to conquer Asir in 1920. Abdulaziz later served as the second governor of Hail Province from 1923 to 1970, making him the longest-serving governor of the province. He also served as governor of Al-Qassim Province for a period.[3]
Three of Abdulaziz's daughters married members of the powerful Sudairi Seven. His daughters Al Anoud (died 1999), Munira, and Al Jawhara were the wives of King Fahd, Prince Sultan, and Prince Nayef, respectively.[2] Princess Al Jawhara and Prince Nayef had two sons together, Saud bin Nayef and Muhammad bin Nayef.[4]
Abdulaziz bin Musaed died in February 1977 and was buried next to the grave of Ibn Saud.[2]
His sons also held important provincial governorships. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz (1931–2015), like his father, served as governor of the Northern Borders Province from 1957 until 4 July 2015, making him the longest-serving governor of that province. His other son, Jiluwi bin Abdulaziz, has served as governor of Najran Province since 12 November 2014.

This response prompted Ibn Saud to send Abdul Aziz bin Musaid with a strong contingent of warriors into Asir. Hassan Al-Aidh's army, under the command of Muhammad bin Abdul Rahman Al-Aidh, proved no match for Ibn Saud's warriors and was thoroughly routed. With a depleted and demoralized force of defenders, the town of Abha was unable to stand against Ibn Musaid and fell to Ibn Saud's men with little resistance.
