Chu Lingyuan

Chu Lingyuan (Chinese: 褚靈媛; 384[1] – 7 August 436[2]), formally Empress Gongsi (恭思皇后), was the last empress consort of the Chinese Eastern Jin dynasty.

[14] Emperor Gong subsequently was forced to give up the throne to Liu Yu in 420, ending Jin.

Liu Yu, who established the Liu Song dynasty, created the former Jin emperor the Prince of Lingling, and Empress Chu received the title Princess of Lingling.

Liu Yu had her adopt a son Sima Yuanyu, presumably another member of the imperial Sima household, to inherit the title of Prince of Lingling, but Yuanyu's identity is otherwise unknown.

The former Jin empress died in August 436 and was buried with imperial honors with her husband Emperor Gong.
