King (or Prince) of Huainan (淮南王) was a noble title in Han Dynasty. It was created by Liu Bang, King of Han, later Emperor Gao of Han in 202 BC for Ying Bu (英布), former King of Jiujiang. Ying Bu rebelled against Emperor Gao of Han in 196 BC and was killed in action. The title of Prince of Huainan was later conferred upon several people, the earliest being Liu Chang (劉長), the youngest son of Liu Bang. Since Huainan is a rich and important patch of territory, the Princes are invariably men of power and most met with untimely deaths because they either covet the imperial throne or were suspected of such ambitions. One such is Prince Liu An (劉安), who compiled the notable book called Huainanzi (淮南子). The territory was eventually subdivided and the title became extinct.
