Who was King Xin of Han?
Han Xin, also referred to as Han Wang Xin in Chinese historical texts to differentiate him from the contemporary general Han Xin, was a descendant of the royal family of the Han state of the Warring States period. After the establishment of the Hàn Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu granted Han Xin the title of "King of Han". In 201 BC, Han Xin was suspected of conspiring with the Xiongnu to attack the Hàn Empire and decided to defect to the Xiongnu. He was killed in action during a battle against the Hàn army in 196 BC.
