from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chalid ibn Saud ( Arabic خالد بن سعود الكبير بن عبد العزيز آل سعود, DMG Ḫālid b. Saʿūd al-kabīr b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz Āl Saʿūd ; † 1861 ) was an imam of the Wahhabis from 1837 to 1841 .

Khalid ibn Saud, the son of Saud I ibn Abd al-Aziz, was captured in 1818 when the Egyptians had conquered Dariya. When Faisal ibn Turki Al Saud succeeded his father Turki Al Saud in the Najd in 1834 , Muhammad Ali Pasha raised his prisoner Khalid to the heir to the throne and sent him with Egyptian troops to Arabia . There he was able to prevail against Faisal in the Nadschd between 1837 and 1838 . However, he was under the control of an Egyptian governor. When the latter had to withdraw with his troops in 1840 under pressure from the major European powers, the fighting for rule in the Najd broke out again. During these conflicts he was overthrown in 1841 by Abdallah II. Ibn Thunayyan ( 1841 - 1843 ) and had to retreat into exile in Mecca .
