Xie Fanjing

Xie Fanjing (謝梵境) was an empress of the Chinese Liu Song Dynasty.

[2] Xie Fanjing came from a noble family—her father Xie Yang (謝颺) was a mid-low level official in the imperial administration,[3] but her grandfather Xie Zhuang (謝莊) was a highly ranked, albeit not particularly powerful official in the administrations of Emperor Xiaowu and Emperor Ming, and was a descendant of Xie Wan (謝萬), the younger brother of the famed Jin prime minister Xie An.

Fanjing married Emperor Shun as his empress on 26 November 478,[4] when he was 11 and effectively a puppet emperor under the general and regent Xiao Daocheng; her age at that time was not known.

Shun was forced to yield the throne to Xiao in 479, ending Liu Song and starting Southern Qi.

Later that year, Emperor Shun was killed by soldiers who were supposed to protect him, and Xiao followed by ordering the execution of the Liu clan.
