Biography

Abdulaziz bin Musaed was the grandson of Jiluwi bin Turki and the full brother of Al Jawhara bint Musaed. He was born an orphan. 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 served as the second governor of Hail Province from 1923 to 1970, making him the longest-serving governor of the province.^[3]

Three of Abdulaziz's daughters married members of the powerful Sudairi Seven. His daughters Al Anoud (died 1999), Muneera, 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.
