Wang Dun

Wang Dun (Chinese: 王敦) (266 – after 8 August 324), courtesy name Chuzhong (處仲), nickname Ahei (阿黑), was a Chinese military general and warlord during the Jin dynasty.

In this Chinese name, the family name is Wang (王).

Having brought Emperor Yuan (Sima Rui) to submission with his military force, Wang Dun had paramount authority. However, although he later appeared to intend to seize the Jin throne by force, he grew ill in 324. He later died as his forces were being repelled by Emperor Ming.
