List of Wei rulers

2. Marquess Wu (武侯), personal name Ji (擊), son of previous, ruled 396 BC–370 BC
3. King Hui (惠王), personal name Ying (罃), son of previous, ruled 370 BC–319 BC
4. King Xiang (襄王), personal name Si (嗣) or He (赫), son of previous, ruled 319 BC–296 BC
5. King Zhao (昭王), personal name Chi (遫), son of previous, ruled 296 BC–277 BC
6. King Anxi (安釐王),personal name Yu (圉), son of previous, ruled 277 BC–243 BC

8. King Jia, (王假), personal name Jia (假), son of previous, ruled 228 BC–225 BC

According to the Records of the Grand Historian (史記) written by Sima Qian in the 1st century BC, the list of rulers is slightly different: King Hui died in 335 BC and was succeeded by his son King Xiang in 334 BC. King Xiang died in 319 BC and was succeeded by his son King Ai (哀王), who died in 296 BC and was succeeded by his son King Zhao. However, the majority of scholars and commentators think that King Ai, whose personal name is not recorded, never existed. It seems that Sima Qian assigned the second part of the reign of King Hui (starting in 334 BC, on which date the hitherto Marquess Hui probably proclaimed himself King) to his son King Xiang, and added King Ai to fill in the gap between 319 BC and 296 BC. On the other hand, a minority of scholars believe King Ai indeed existed. Marquis Wen of Wei (魏文侯)(r. ...
