Kingdom of Chu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King of Chu was the title used by several rebellion leaders during the collapse of Qin Dynasty. Using the old Warring State name of Chu, these Kings claimed to be the rightful ruler of the old Chu territory (Nowaday provinces of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu).
Kingdom of Chu was one of the 18 Kingdoms.
