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 (𦈡葛之战) 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]
