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.
《资治通鉴·周纪》10丨 以家族单位 有蚂蚁吃大象的精神（1） makes Han Aihou the ruler under whom 韩国 destroys 郑国 in 375 BCE and moves its capital to Xinzheng. The episode reads that achievement as the visible result of several generations of Han pressure, not as Han Aihou’s isolated accomplishment.
《资治通鉴·周纪》10丨 以家族单位 有蚂蚁吃大象的精神（2） gives Han Aihou’s death in the 《史记》 / 《资治通鉴》 branch: 严遂 sends an assassin against 韩廆, and Han Aihou is killed while protecting Han Gui. The episode explicitly compares this with the earlier 《战国策》 / 聂政 variant rather than forcing the wiki to choose one merged account.
