Bombogor

Prince Xiang of the First Rank was a noble title during the Qing dynasty in China, used between 1644 and 1912. The Qing dynasty was established by the Manchu people, and the title was part of the imperial peerage system. The title "Prince Xiang" was not designated as an "iron-cap" peerage, meaning that with each successive bearer, the noble rank typically declined by one level. The titles generally did not fall below feng'en fuguo gong unless exceptional circumstances occurred.

The title was held solely by Bombogoor, born on January 20, 1642. He was the eleventh son of Hong Taiji, the second emperor of the Qing dynasty. Bombogoor was granted the title "Prince Xiang of the First Rank" in 1655. He died on August 22, 1656, without leaving an heir or adopting any children. As a result, the peerage became extinct upon his death.

Posthumously, Bombogoor was awarded the name "Prince Xiangzhao of the First Rank." The characters "xiangzhao" (襄昭) translate to "helpful and luminous," serving as a tribute to his memory.

The peerage's structure and its lack of inheritance continuity reflect the Qing dynasty's approach to noble titles, which often depended on the favor of the imperial court and specific circumstances surrounding each bearer.
