He was a successor of his father King Zhuang of Zhou,[2] and was succeeded by his son, King Hui of Zhou.
By his time China had dissolved into a multitude of states, only nominally subject to the king, who was no longer even the most powerful figure in China (that was Duke Huán of the State of Qí).[3]
