Fahd of Saudi Arabia

Fahd bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud ({{lang-ar|فهد بن عبد العزيز آل سعود}}, b.1923 – August 1, 2005) was the king and prime minister of Saudi Arabia and leader of the House of Saud. One of thirty-seven sons of Saudi founder Ibn Saud, and the fourth of his five sons who have ruled the Kingdom (Saud, Faisal, Khalid, Fahd, and Abdullah), Fahd ascended to the throne on the death of his half-brother, King Khalid, on June 13, 1982.

Marbella

The King had a fondness for the Spanish resort of Marbella. Following his original visit in the seventies, he bought an estate of over 200 acres (0.8 km²). Following his death he was declared an "adopted son" by councillors, and three days of mourning for Marbella was declared.
