Biography
Abdulaziz bin Mutaib was born in 1870.[3] He was the son of the third Rashidi emir, Mutaib bin Abdullah, and was adopted by his uncle Muhammed, the fifth emir who made Abdulaziz his heir.[4] After Muhammed died of natural causes in 1897 Abdulaziz succeeded him unopposed. However, the Rashidi rule was insecure, as their Ottoman allies were unpopular and weakening. In 1902, Ibn Saud, the founder of Saudi Arabia, returned from Kuwait with a small force and retook Riyadh.[5] Ibn Rashid, who engaged in several battles with Ibn Saud's forces, died in 1906 in the battle of Rawdat Muhanna against Ibn Saud.[5]
