King Yi of Zhou (Chinese: 周夷王; pinyin: Zhōu Yí Wáng) was the ninth king of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty.[1] Estimated dates of his reign are 885–878 BC or 865–858 BC.[2]
He was preceded by his uncle, King Xiao of Zhou, who may have overthrown his father. In the third year of his reign, King Yi sided with Marquis of Ji in a dispute with Duke Ai of Qi and executed Duke Ai by boiling him to death in a large cauldron. King Yi installed Duke Ai's younger half-brother Jing on the throne, later known as Duke Hu of Qi.[3][4][5]
During his reign there were wars in the south with the State of Chu and the Dongyi.
He was succeeded by his son, King Li of Zhou.
