Sun Hao

Sun Hao (242–284) style name Yuanzong, originally named Sun Pengzu with the style name Yuanzong, is the fourth and last emperor of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.

He is the son of Sun He, a one-time crown prince of the founding emperor Sun Quan.

He comes to the throne in 264 after the death of his uncle Sun Xiu (Emperor Jing) in light of the desire of the people to have an older emperor considering the recent destruction of Eastern Wu's ally Shu Han.

However, he turs out to be a most unfortunate choice, as his cruelty, extravagance, and inability to handle domestic matters dooms Eastern Wu, which is conquered by Jin in 280, ending the Three Kingdoms period.

Sun Hao is also known by his pre-ascension title of Marquess of Wucheng and post-conquest Jin-bestowed title Marquess of Guiming.
