Marquess Xian of Zhao (?-409 BC) () was a leader of the State of Zhao during the Warring States period of Chinese history (475-220 BC). Born Zhào Huàn (), he was the son of Zhào Zhōu (, grandson of Zhào Bólŭ () 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. ==References== Shen Changyun, “Zhao State Historical Manuscripts”, Zhonghua Publishing 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marquess Xian of Zhao」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
