Marquess Xian of Zhao
Encyclopedia
Marquess Xian of Zhao was a leader of the State of Zhao
during the Warring States Period
of Chinese history (475-220 BCE).
Born Zhào Huàn , he was the son of Zhào Zhōu and the eldest brother of Zhào Xiāng-zĭ .
Zhào Xiāng-zĭ believed that it was illegal for him to be the successor to Zhào Bólŭ and wanted to return his inheritance so that Zhào Huàn would become heir apparent.
After Zhào Huàn became leader he was banished from the Zhao capitals of Zhōngmú
(in modern day Henan) and Daìjùn (modern day Yu County, Hebei
) by Zhào Huán-zĭ , who usurped Zhào Huàn’s position and installed himself as ruler.
A year later, Zhào Huán-zĭ died and the local people killed all his sons. As a result Zhào Huàn once more became leader of Zhao. After he died he was awarded the posthumous title of Zhào Xiàn-zĭ whilst his son became Marquess Lie of Zhao
who subsequently altered his father’s posthumous title to Marquess Xian of Zhao.
