History
The office exists since 9 October 1953, when the second Monarch of the nation mounted the Saudi throne, and has remained in the ruling Saudi dynasty, either held by the Heir-apparent to the Throne or even vested in the reigning Sovereign (or Regent) himself. Under earlier dynasties in present Saudi Arabia (the result of the merger of Nedj and Hejaz), the closest equivalent office had a native style, such as Grand Vizier.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
