Gurun Princess Rong'an

(Redirected from Princess Rong'an)

Gurun Princess Rong'an[1] (20 June 1855 – 5 February 1875) was a princess of the Qing Dynasty, and the only daughter of the Xianfeng Emperor and his Consort Li. She was born in the fourth year of the reign of the Xianfeng Emperor. She married Fuzhen of the Gūwalgiya clan in August 1873, on the order of Empress Dowager Cixi in accordance with Manchu imperial customs. She was pregnant when she heard news of the death of her half brother, the Tongzhi Emperor. The emotional stress caused her to suffer a miscarriage. She died a month later at the age of 19 without any children.

Notes

edit
  1. ^ Rong'an is part of her title and not her personal name. The "Gurun" is also part of the title. Although she was born to the Xianfeng Emperor's consort, she was granted the status of a Gurun Princess, which was reserved only for princesses born to the empress. (See Qing Dynasty nobility.)
