Yuan Lang

Yuan Lang (513–532), courtesy name Zhongzhe, frequently known by his post-removal title of Prince of Anding, at times known as Emperor Houfei ("later removed emperor"), is briefly an emperor of the Chinese/Xianbei dynasty Northern Wei.

He is proclaimed emperor by the general Gao Huan, who rebels against the clan of the paramount general Erzhu Rong in 531, as a competing candidate for the imperial throne against Emperor Jiemin, who had been made emperor by Erzhu Rong's cousin Erzhu Shilong.

In 532, after Gao's victory over the Erzhus, he believes Yuan Lang, whose lineage is distant from the recent emperors, to be unsuitable to be emperor, and instead makes Emperor Xiaowu emperor.

Emperor Xiaowu creates Yuan Lang the Prince of Anding, but later that year puts him to death.
