Li Congyi [SEP] date of birth
Li Congyi
Li Congyi (李從益) (931 – June 23, 947), known as the Prince of Xu (許王), was an imperial prince of the Chinese Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period state Later Tang. He was the youngest son of its second emperor Li Siyuan (Emperor Mingzong). In the confusion of the destruction of Later Tang's successor state Later Jin, he was forced into claiming imperial title by Xiao Han, a general of the Khitan Liao Dynasty (whose forces had destroyed Later Jin
later Princess Yong'an.)
In 933, Li Siyuan created Li Congyi the Prince of Xu, at the same time that he created his adoptive son Li Congke and nephews Li Congwen (李從溫), Li Congzhang (李從璋), and Li Congmin (李從敏) princes. (He already created his older biological sons Li Congrong and Li Conghou princes in 930, before Li Congyi's birth.)
Later in 933, Li Congrong tried to seize power in Li Siyuan's illness, but was defeated and killed.
