On 22 September 1933, the lands under the control of Abdul Aziz were renamed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in 1936 a treaty was signed with Yemen marking the southern borders of the Kingdom.

 frontline: hunting bin laden: who is bin laden?: about the bin laden family | PBS
The relationship between the bin Ladens and the Saudi royal family is quite exceptional in that it not simply one of business ties: it is also a relationship of trust, of friendship and of shared secrets.
The bin Laden sons went to the same schools as the numerous offspring of King Abdul Aziz and they all followed the same path.
This unseemly publicity did nothing to shake the confidence of Yeslam bin Laden, doubtless an indication that the lawyer is top-notch in his profession (he is also counsel to the financial group of William Kazan, who is currently liquidating a major portion of his banking investments).

 Dossier: Crown Prince Abdullah (January 2004)
Much of the venom directed at the House of Saud was born of decades of royal extravagance, and with respect to King Fahd, an unquestionable record of hedonism.
These criticisms are especially poignant given that the House of Saud carefully built its legitimacy on its strong ties to the religious revivalist Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab (1703-1792) and his descendents.
On the basis of his strong tribal ties, in 1962 Abdullah was appointed head of the National Guard, a direct descendant of the Ikhwan, the tribal army that served the kingdom's founder (and Abdullah's father) Abdel Aziz bin Saud in his early twentieth century conquest of the Arabian Peninsula.

Bin Laden struck a deal with Mir, then in the military but tied closely to Islamists in Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (isi), to get protection, arms and supplies for al-Qaeda.

 Fahd bin Abdul Aziz
Abdul Aziz then changed his mind and asked his brother to divorce her so that he could marry her again.
Faisal, being very private, never expressed his feelings or mentioned his suspicions to anyone, not even to his closest adviser Dr. Pharaon, but those who accompanied him on that trip remember him murmuring the name of Fahd after the accident.
With the advice of Dr. Rashad Pharaon, Faisal, at the end of 1973, increased the annual compensation of all the princes in the royal family, thus defusing the palace coup that was being pushed by Fahd.
