Princess Murong


Princess Murong was a princess and queen consort of the Chinese state Northern Yan. Her husband was the last emperor, Feng Hong, of that dynasty.
Presumably, she was from the Murong imperial clan of Northern Yan's predecessor state Later Yan, although her exact lineage is not known. She was not Feng Hong's first wife; when Feng Hong was the Duke of Zhongshan under his brother Feng Ba, his wife was Duchess Wang, but after he seized the throne in 430, he created Lady Murong princess in 431 and her son Feng Wangren as crown prince in 432, bypassing Duchess Wang's son Feng Chong, the oldest among his sons. Nothing further is known about Princess Murong, including whether she survived Northern Yan's destruction in 436 or her husband's death in 438.
