Emperor Wu of Song

Emperor of Liu Song from 420 to 422

Emperor Wu of (Liu) Song ((劉)宋武帝; 16 April 363– 26 June 422), personal name Liu Yu (劉裕), courtesy name Dexing (德興), childhood name Jinu (寄奴), was the founding emperor of the Liu Song dynasty of China. He came from a humble background, but became prominent after leading a rebellion in 404 to overthrow Huan Xuan, who had usurped the Eastern Jin throne in January that year. After that point, using a mixture of political and military skills, Liu Yu gradually concentrated power in his own hands while expanding Jin's territory.
