楚宣王 / King Xuan of Chu

楚宣王 / King Xuan of Chu appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》10丨 以家族单位 有蚂蚁吃大象的精神(2) as 熊良夫, the younger brother who succeeds after 楚肃王 dies without a son. The episode treats the notice briefly as one of the sixth-year succession events.

The page is source-scoped. Chu Xuan Wang matters here because the succession moves through a brother rather than a son, keeping 楚国 inside the episode’s wider concern with how ruler death is converted into political continuity or disorder.
