List of Saudi rulers

The Sheikhdom of Diriyah was a City-state in central Arabia (Najd). It was founded by Mani' ibn Rabi'a, the earliest recorded ancestor of the House of Saud. Over the course of its history, the sheikhdom had approximately fifteen rulers. ==First Saudi State (1727–1818)==

The First Saudi State, founded by Muhammad bin Saud, grew from the small Sheikhdom of Diriyah into a state that, at its peak, controlled most of the Arabian Peninsula and parts of the Levant, Qajar Iran (including Bandar Abbas), and the Ottoman Empire. ==Second Saudi State (1824–1891)==

The Second Saudi State was founded in 1824 by Turki bin Abdullah, six years after the fall of the First Saudi State in 1818. Unlike the first state, which focused on expansion, the second state was marked by internal conflict. ==Third Saudi State (1902–present)==

The Third Saudi State was founded by Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman, known as Ibn Saud, who recaptured Riyadh in 1902. Through 34 years of campaigns known as the Unification of Saudi Arabia, the state expanded under various names before being officially named Saudi Arabia in 1932. ==Genealogy==
