1982-2005
Fahd was a son of ibn Saud (1876-1953), the first king of Saudi Arabia. Fahd
was educated at the Princes' School, established by Ibn Saud specifically to
educate members of his family. Fahd ascended to the throne on the death of his
half-brother, King Khalid, in 1982.
King Fahd was considered a moderate monarch of a conservative nation. He
maintained close ties with the West, supported the Persian Gulf War and the
liberation of Kuwait. Fahd was disabled by a major stroke in 1995. His
half-brother, Abdullah, served as de facto regent of the kingdom. Fahd died
in 2005 and Abdullah succeeded him as the new king.
