Prince Zhuang
Prince Zhuang of the First Rank (Manchu: ; ''hošoi ambalinggū cin wang''), or simply Prince Zhuang, was the title of a princely peerage used in China during the Manchu-led Qing dynasty (1644–1912). It was also one of the 12 "iron-cap" princely peerages in the Qing dynasty, which meant that the title could be passed down without being downgraded. The first bearer of the title was Šose (1629–1655), the fifth son of Hong Taiji, the second ruler of the Qing dynasty. He was awarded the title Prince Chengze of the First Rank (Manchu: ; ''hošoi kesingge cin wang''; Prince Chengze) in 1651 by his father.

Prince Hui (second Rank)
Prince Hui of the Second Rank, or simply Prince Hui, was the title of a princely peerage used in China during the Manchu-led Qing dynasty (1644–1912). As the Prince Hui 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 Bo'erguoluo (博爾果洛), Šose's second son and a great-grandson of Nurhaci (the founder of the Qing dynasty). In 1665, Bo'erguoluo was granted the title "Prince Hui of the Second Rank" by the Kangxi Emperor. The title was passed down over four generations and held by three persons. Members of the Prince Hui peerage * Bo'erguoluo (博爾果洛; 1651–1712), Šose's second son, held the title Prince Hui of the Second Rank from 1665 to 1684, str ...
