Who was Zhang Zuo?

Zhang Zuo, courtesy name Taibo, formally Prince Wei of Liang was a ruler of the Chinese state Former Liang. He was the only ruler of Former Liang to formally declare a break from Jin Dynasty, and historical sources variously report him as having declared himself an emperor or a prince. He was commonly viewed as a usurper and initially not acknowledged as a Former Liang ruler, but his brother Zhang Tianxi later nevertheless gave him the posthumous name of Wei.
