Prince Weigong Zhu Zhanyan, the tenth son of Ming Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi, was born on January 9, 1417, and died on January 3, 1439. In the 22nd year of Yongle (1424), he was granted the title of prince. Due to poor health since childhood, he never traveled to his fiefdom. He passed away in the third year of Zhengde (1439), with the posthumous title of Prince Weigong; he had no children. His princess consort, Lady Yang, daughter of Yang Shunzhi, was ennobled as Princess Weigong in the seventh month of the second year of Zhengde (1437), and she died in the eleventh month of the third year of Zhengde (1438). The principality was subsequently abolished. Princess Yang was buried in the Prince’s residence, with the posthumous title of Zhenlie.
