King Huan of Zhou (Chinese: 周桓王; pinyin: Zhōu Húan Wáng; Wade–Giles: Chou Huan Wang; died 697 BC), personal name Jī Lín (姬林),[2] was the fourteenth king of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty[3][4] and the second of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770–256 BC).
King Huan’s father was King Ping's son, Crown Prince Xiefu. Huan succeeded his grandfather in 719 BC.[5]
The son and successor of Huan was King Zhuang of Zhou.
In 707 BC, the royal forces were defeated in the Battle of Xuge (��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.[6]
