Marquess Xian of Zhao


Marquess Xian of Zhao (?-409 BC) (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Zhào Xiàn Hóu) or Zhao Xianzi was a leader of the State of Zhao during the Warring States period (475-220 BC) of ancient China.

Born Zhào Huàn (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ), he was the son of Zhao Zhou (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ), grandson of Zhao Bolu (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ) and the eldest brother of Zhao Xiangzi (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ).

Zhào Xiāngzĭ 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 Zhongmu County (Chinese: ) (in modern-day Henan) and Dai Commandery (Chinese: ) (modern-day Yu County, Hebei) by Zhao Huanzi (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ), who usurped Zhào Huàn’s position and installed himself as ruler.
