# Prince Ying (created 1644)

Prince Ying of the First Rank, or simply Prince Ying, was the title of a princely peerage used in China during the Manchu-led Qing dynasty (1644–1912). As the Prince Ying 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 Ajige (1605–1651), the 12th son of Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing dynasty. In 1644, Ajige was granted the title "Prince Ying of the First Rank" by his nephew, the Shunzhi Emperor. However, in 1651, he was stripped of his title and forced to commit suicide after his failed attempt to seize the position of Prince-Regent after Dorgon's death. The peerage was passed down over 12 generations and held by 15 persons.
