Emperor Gaozong of Song

Gaozong (12 June 1107 – 9 November 1187), born Zhao Gou, was the tenth emperor of the Song dynasty of China. He reigned from 1127 to 1162. Gaozong fled south after the Jurchens overran Kaifeng during the Jingkang Incident of the Jin–Song wars and became the first emperor of what is now known as the Southern Song dynasty after he re-established his seat of government at Lin'an (present-day Hangzhou in Zhejiang).
