Liu Chong's empress

Liu Chong's empress (name unknown) was the wife of Liu Chong (Liu Min, Emperor Shizu), the first emperor of Northern Han, which considered itself the legitimate successor state to Later Han, of the Chinese Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period.

Very little is known about her based on historical sources — not even her name. All that is known is of her existence and the fact that she was created empress by Emperor Shizong of Liao, to whom Liu Chong was a vassal, in 951, shortly after Liu Chong claimed imperial title.[1] It is not known which of his children were born of her, but it is known that one of his grandsons, Liu Jiwen (劉繼文), was her grandson as well.[2] It is not known when she died.
