Love that you're taking on modern dynasties. Great doing this collab with you!

[abrarhameem]

I so much love seeing when hostorians or history channels collab each other.Cooperation is very important in this field.❤️

Thank you very much. In Jordan there was also a change in succession by royal decree. King Hussein's brother Crown Prince Hassan was next in line. Just before the King Hussein died and to everyone's surprise, he declared his son - now King - Abduallah II as Crown Prince. This was back in around 1999.

I feel like the British and French played the middle east like chess, they just couldn't leave the region alone could they

[Nazzalenezi]

Thank you for the useful video. I just want to bring to your attention that the Saudi dynasty was started by establishing the first Saudi State (Emirate of Diriyah) 1744–1818. Then they start again and established The Emirate of Nejd, which was the second Saudi state 1824–1891. The current Saudi Arabia is the Third Saudi State established by King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud.
Thank you.

Yay your first look at Arabian monarchies, I find the governance of the UAE to be very fascinating

Tbh i learned more in 16 mins then in 2 years in high school. About the the region i'm in.
Thank you so much!

[okyy]

This would be even more interesting if you covered the Saudi family tree starting from the 1st Saudi state which was founded by Muhammad bin Saud, then the 2nd Saudi state founded by Turki bin Abdullah.

[morenag.]

Whoa! I’ve never seen so much details into a family tree. My mind is blown.

[williammichelangelo]

This was amazingly and wonderfully organized and presented!
Thank you!

[jackyquacky]

This might be hard to do but who would be king of ancient Macedonia today?

[Gameflyer]

Amman's international airport was renamed after Queen Alia, shortly after her sudden death.

[amrexquiram]

Thanks for sharing this.. now I understand where they are from... watching from Riyadh Saudi Arabia

[lilliedoubleyou]

Great video! Love the Hashimites - such an interesting family. And for those who know who he is, doesn't old King Faisal of Iraq look a lot like the current Crown Prince, Hussein? There's a real strong resemblance there!

[charlieduke]

Excellent work, both channels and everybody involved. Hikma History, I just subscribed to your channel, Matt your awesome! Keep up your great work

[foxfoster]

I’m astonished that you upload so many amazing videos so frequently.
I also think that the family tree of racing horses would make for an interesting video (man o war, sea biscuit, swing on, etc.)

[jasonkiefer]

Matt, you missed an important one! Faisal portrayed by Sir Alec Guinness in "Lawrence of Arabia." But King Abdullah II of Jordan cameoed as unnamed science officer in the cold open of Star Trek: Voyager "Investigations" season 2 episode 20. Apparently the Hashemites will be around for another 400 years. :) A big Star Trek fan, so good for him!

For clarification, the council, called the bay’ah’s role is to confirm the choice of crown price that the king decrees, following the announcement, and not to have the power to vote on who becomes the king. The choice of crown prince falls within the discretion of the king.

[saifnakitty]

Great sources, I belong to the hashemite tribe"bani Hashem" but as a Saudi Arabian and never left Saudi actually

[diyormirzadjanov]

Thanks a lot for your great work.
Please the next video is about Assad family.
Even though they are not royals, telling about their history and intrigues inside the family between brothers will be very interesting
