Musa'id bin Abdulaziz bin Abdul Rahman bin Faisal Al Saud |
Musa'id bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (1923 – 19 August 2013) was a member of the House of Saud. He was the twelfth son of King Abdulaziz, the founder of Saudi Arabia. He was the father of Faisal bin Musaid who was the assassin of his brother King Faisal.
Musa'id was born in 1923. His father, was King Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia in 1932. His mother was Jawhara bint Saad bin Abdul Muhsin Al Sudairi. Before marrying Abdulaziz she had been married to Abdulaziz's full brother, Sa'd bin Abdul Rahman, until Sa'd's death in 1916. Her sister, Haya Al Sudairi, was also a spouse of King Abdulaziz and the mother of Prince Badr, Prince Abdul Majid and Prince Abdul Illah.
Musa'id had two full-brothers Prince Saad, Prince Abdul Muhsin and one full-sister Princess Al Bandari.
Musa'id married Watfa, a daughter of Muhammad bin Talal, the 12th (and last) Rashidi amir. Their son Faisal bin Musaid was born in Riyadh on 4 April 1944. He subsequently divorced Watfa. His sons and daughters by Watfa were much closer to their maternal Rashidi relatives than their paternal relatives, Al Sauds.
In 1966, his son Khaled, who was a fervent Wahhabite, was killed during a Riyadh protest against the introduction of television. The details of his death are disputed. Some reports allege that he died resisting arrest outside his own home. No investigation over his death was ever initiated.
