Duke Kao of Lu
Appearance
Duke Kao of Lu (Chinese: 魯考公; pinyin: Lǔ Kǎo Gōng), personal name unknown, was the second ruler of the State of Lu during the early Western Zhou dynasty of ancient China. He was a member of the royal Ji family and succeeded his father, Bo Qin, who was the founder of the state and the son of the highly respected Duke of Zhou.
Duke Kao's reign was notably short, lasting for only one year. Following his brief rule, the throne passed not to his son, but to his brother, Duke Yang of Lu. Due to the limited nature of historical records from this early period of Chinese history, very little specific information about the events or accomplishments during his short tenure as ruler has survived.
