Person
Murong Chao
Murong Chao was the second and last emperor of Southern Yan, ruling Shandong from 405 to 410. A nephew of the founder Murong De, he alienated his court and raided the Eastern Jin to seize captives as court musicians. The raids provoked Liu Yu, who besieged Guanggu, captured him and had him executed, ending the last Murong Xianbei state.
