Fahda bint Asi Al Shammari

Fahda bint Asi bin Shuraim Al Shammari (Arabic: فهدة بنت العاصي بن شريم الشمري) (died 1934) was an Arab woman of the Shammar tribe who was first married to her kinsman Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Rashid, Emir of Jabal Shammar, and later to King Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia.

[1] She was the daughter of Asi bin Shuraim Al Shammari,[2] who was the sheikh of the southern part of the tribe.

[5] Following her husband's killing, Fahda married Abdulaziz Al Saud in 1922[4][7] becoming his eighth spouse.

[9] The reason for these marriages is thought to build a truce with the Rashidis or to make them loyal elements in the country.

[4] King Abdullah inaugurated the Fahda bint Asi Al Shuraim Secondary School for Qualification in Boskora, Morocco, in August 2009.
