晋烈公 / Duke Lie of Jin

晋烈公 / Duke Lie of Jin appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》07丨两起刺杀(3) through his death in 393 BCE. His son 晋孝公 succeeds him, but the source treats the succession as politically thin because 晋国 has already become a puppet polity behind 韩国, 赵国, and 魏国.

His wiki role is to mark Jin’s hollow middle stage between 三晋受封 and the final extinction of Jin. The ruler line continues, but the source says the office no longer has much independent strategic meaning.
