Prince Hui (second rank)

Prince Hui of the Second Rank, or simply Prince Hui, was the title of a princely peerage used in China during the Manchu-led Qing dynasty (1644–1912). As the Prince Hui peerage was not awarded "iron-cap" status, this meant that each successive bearer of the title would normally start off with a title downgraded by one rank vis-à-vis that held by his predecessor. However, the title would generally not be downgraded to any lower than a feng'en fuguo gong except under special circumstances.

The first bearer of the title was Bo'erguoluo (博爾果洛), Šose's second son and a great-grandson of Nurhaci (the founder of the Qing dynasty). In 1665, Bo'erguoluo was granted the title "Prince Hui of the Second Rank" by the Kangxi Emperor. The title was passed down over four generations and held by three persons.
