Biography

Princess Lanling was a native of Luoyang County, Henan (now east of Luoyang, Henan Province), a descendant of Tuoba Yulü. She was the sister of Yuan Zhi, or Chang shanwang yuan ming (常山王元鸣).[1][2][3][4][5]

She was married to Anluochen, the khan of the Rourans, the son of Anagui. A thousand horses were sent from Rouran to the Emperor of Eastern Wei, Xiaojing, asking for the hand of the princess who, following her marriage with Anluochen, adopted the royal name of Princess Lanling (兰陵公主). In view of the importance of an alliance with the Rouran, Gao Huan personally presided the collection of the dowry and led the princess and her retinue to Rouran.[6][7][8][9]
