Abd al-Aziz Ibn Saud was born in Rijadh into the [[House of Saud]], which had historically maintained dominion over interior highlands of Arabia known as Najd. Saud followed his family in exile in [[Kuwait]] following the conquest of the family's lands by the Rashidi. The Rashidi were a historic house of the [[Arabian Peninsula]], the most formidable enemies of the House of Saud at the time.
