Template:Chinese text King Huan of Zhou (Chinese: 周桓王; pinyin: Zhōu Húan Wáng; Wade–Giles: Chou Huan Wang; died 697 BC) was the fourteenth king of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty[3][4] and the second of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-256 BC).
His given name was Lín.[5]
King Huan’s father was King Ping’ son, Crown Prince Xiefu. Huan succeeded his grandfather in 719 BC.[6]
Son and successor of Huan was King Zhuang of Zhou.
In 707 BC, the royal forces were defeated in the Battle of Xuge (𦈡葛之战) by Duke Zhuang of Zheng (r.743-701). The king himself was wounded by an arrow in the shoulder, and the defeat destroyed the prestige of the Zhou house.[7]
