Princess Zhejue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Princess Zhejue (折掘王后, personal name unknown) was the only historically known princess of the Chinese/Xianbei state Southern Liang. Her husband was the state's final prince, Tufa Rutan (Prince Jing).

Very little is known about Princess Zhejue, who was likely from the nearby Zhejue tribe, also of Xianbei extraction. She bore Tufa Rutan at least one son, the crown prince Tufa Hutai (禿髮虎台). It is not known when she died, and therefore not whether she survived the state's destruction in 414 and her husband's and son's deaths (in 415 and 423, respectively) at the hands of Western Qin's prince Qifu Chipan.
