Princess Bian (Wuyuan)

Princess Bian (Wuyuan)

Princess Bian (邊王后, personal name unknown) was a princess of the Chinese/Xianbei state Western Qin. Her husband was Qifu Gangui (Prince Wuyuan).

Shortly after Qifu Gangui became prince in 388, after the death of his brother, the founding prince Qifu Guoren (Prince Xuanlie), he created her princess. At that point, she was already described of as his wife. However, nothing more is known about her, including whether she was the mother of his eventual successor, his son Qifu Chipan (Prince Wenzhao). In 394, Qifu Gangui, in a political marriage, married the sister of the Former Qin emperor Fu Deng, the Princess Dongping, as princess, although presumably Princess Fu was deposed and Princess Bian restored after Former Qin's destruction by Later Qin later in 394, for after Qifu Gangui lost his state but restored it in 409, he again created Princess Bian princess. (The succession table below assumes as such.)

* Qifu Guoren was not mentioned as having created a princess, but could have.
