Biography

OriginalEnglish

宗愈

宗晟薨,哲宗紹聖二年四月,宗愈以鎮安節度使、開府儀同三司、檢校司徒嗣封。故事嗣王以四時詣祠所,宗愈方屬疾,或曰不可以暑行,曰:「吾身主祀而不往,非禮也。」強輿以行,疾遂亟。是年八月薨,年六十五,贈太師,追封襄王,謚恭憲。

Zongyu

When Zongsheng died, in the fourth month of the second year of Shaosheng under Zhezong, Zongyu, as Military Commissioner of Zhen'an, Commander Unequalled in Honour and Acting Grand Minister of Education, succeeded to the title. By custom the Succession Prince went to the shrine in each of the four seasons. Zongyu was ill at the time, and someone said he could not travel in the heat, but he said, "I am the one who presides over the sacrifice; not to go would be against the rites." He forced himself to set out in a litter, and his illness grew critical. He died in the eighth month of that year, at sixty-five, and was posthumously made Grand Preceptor and posthumously enfeoffed as Prince of Xiang, with the posthumous name Gongxian. Edit
