熊昊 / 熊犹 / 楚哀王 / King Ai of Chu

熊昊 / 熊犹 / 楚哀王 enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》114-1｜今天聊聊 嬴政都有哪些残忍手段 as the briefly installed successor after 楚幽王 dies. The episode says the Six States chronological table gives the name as 熊昊, while the Chu lineage account gives 熊犹; this page treats them as the same source-scoped succession figure unless later sources require separation.

His role is a compressed succession failure. 楚国 installs him as Chu Youwang’s younger brother, but he has not stabilized the throne before the faction of his older half-brother 熊负刍 / 楚王负刍 kills him and installs Fuchu. The page therefore continues the Chu branch from hidden-paternity succession into open palace violence.
