King Weilie of Zhou

King Weilie of Zhou (Chinese: 周威烈王; pinyin: Zhōu Wēiliè Wáng), personal name Ji Wu, was a king of the Chinese Zhou dynasty.

His reign started in 425 BC, after his father King Kao had died and lasted until his death in 402 BC.[1]

During King Weilie's reign, he created Han, Wei and Zhao as feudal states separate from Jin, to act as a buffer between his royal domain and Qin (nominally one of his subject states).[2]

King Weilie was succeeded by his son, King An.[3]
