王曼 / Wang Man (Western Han)

Overview

王曼 / Wang Man enters the wiki through Hanji 511 as the same-father brother of 王政君 who had already died before Chengdi’s 27 BCE same-day enfeoffment of the other Wang brothers.

Current Profile

Wang Man is an absence inside the 成帝五侯 story. The episode notes that all of Wang Zhengjun’s same-father brothers other than Wang Man receive marquis status, making his prior death the boundary of the group rather than a separate action.

Key Characteristics

• Same-father brother of Wang Zhengjun.
• Already dead by the 27 BCE enfeoffment.
• Defines the exception to the statement that the other Wang brothers receive marquis status.

Evidence

• Death-before-enfeoffment: Hanji 511 says Wang Zhengjun’s same-father brothers other than the already dead Wang Man are all enfeoffed.
