Empress Qi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Empress Qi (齊皇后, personal name unknown) was an empress of the Chinese/Qiang state Later Qin. Her husband was Yao Xing (Emperor Wenhuan).

Very little is known about Empress Qi. She was promoted to empress from the imperial consort title Zhaoyi (昭儀) in 412. No further reference was made to her in history, including when she died or whether she had any children. (The succession chart below assumes that she survived to 416, when her husband died, but this is conjecture.)
