Prince Xun (恂)

Prince Xun of the Second Rank, or simply Prince Xun, was the title of a princely peerage used in China during the Manchu-led Qing dynasty (1644–1912). As the Prince Xun peerage was not awarded "iron-cap" status, this meant that each successive bearer of the title would normally start off with a title downgraded by one rank vis-à-vis that held by his predecessor. However, the title would generally not be downgraded to any lower than a feng'en fuguo gong except under special circumstances.

The first bearer of the title was Yunti (1688–1756), the Kangxi Emperor's 14th son, who was granted the title "Prince Xun of the Second Rank" by the Qianlong Emperor in 1748. The title was passed down over seven generations and held by eight persons.
