韩哀侯 / Marquis Ai of Han

韩哀侯 / Marquis Ai of Han first appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》07丨两起刺杀(2) through the episode’s 《战国策》 variant of the 聂政 story. In that version, 侠累 and Han Aihou are both present at a large meeting, Xia Lei holds onto the ruler while fleeing, and Nie Zheng kills both.

The page is deliberately source-scoped. Its first role was to preserve the variant account so later sources could compare whether the assassination belongs to a ministerial feud, a ruler-killing crisis, or a mixed transmission.

《资治通鉴·周纪》09丨战国时代的世界大战 gives Han Aihou a direct succession notice: 韩文侯 dies in 377 BCE and his son Han Aihou succeeds. That later source stabilizes his place in the Han ruler sequence even while the earlier assassination variant remains a separate source problem.
