Empress Dowager Wei
Empress Dowager Wei (衛太后, personal name unknown) was an
empress dowager of the
Chinese/
Di state
Later Liang. She was the mother of the last emperor
Lü Long.
Lady Wei was probably the wife of Lü Long's father Lü Bao (呂寶), who was a younger brother of the founding emperor
Lü Guang (Emperor Yiwu). Very little is known about her. When Lü Long became emperor after his younger brother
Lü Chao (呂超) assassinated then-emperor
Lü Zuan in
401, he honored her as empress dowager. There was no further historical reference to her, and it is not known whether she survived the state's destruction in
403 or her son's death in
416.
