TIL the current King of Saudi Arabia, Salman, is the son of Abdul-Aziz, who founded the modern kingdom in 1932 and was its first ruler. Abdul-Aziz, also known as Ibn Saud, was born in 1875.
Sentiment about Saudi Arabia aside, I thought it was very interesting how a man born in 1-8-fucking-7-5 not only has a living son, but a living son ruling the kingdom he (the father) created. As a matter of fact, all 6 kings after Abdul-Aziz have been his sons. That's quite something. More on reddit.com

What do you guys think about King Salman of Saudi Arabia? As far as I know he doesn't do much due to age and his sons do most of the running of the country. Also, how does Saudi succession work?
As a constitutionalist, I think the lack of the role of the people in running the government is a great error that Saudi Arabia has. In my opinion, a monarchy runs most effective when the power is divided between the monarch and the people, where the two have an equal responsibility for each other. More on reddit.com

TIL that since 1953, every King of Saudi Arabia has been a son of the first king, Abdulaziz. His oldest son was born in 1900 and the youngest in 1952. He has roughly 1,000 grandchildren.
Saudi Arabia practices agnatic seniority, which means that the throne doesn't pass from father to child like in Western monarchies, but rather "sideways" to his brothers instead. This might be why Saudi society can seem conservative and resistant to change. More on reddit.com

January 28, 2025 - King Salman bin Abdulaziz’s decision to appoint his son, Mohammed bin Salman, as his heir, elevating him over more senior rivals, marked a decisive turning point in the history of Saudi Arabia. Yet the Saudi king is not the only Gulf royal championing his offspring. In the past six months, three other countries have seen a strengthening of the direct patrilineal line. Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa appointed his son, Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa, as head of government upon the death of his uncle, long-serving Prime Minister Khalifa bin Salman al-Khalifa.
