King Huai of Chu (traditional Chinese: 楚懷王; simplified Chinese: 楚怀王; pinyin: Chǔ Huái Wáng, died 296 BC) was from 328 to 299 BC the king of the state of Chu during the Warring States period of ancient China. He was born Xiong Huai (Chinese: 熊槐) and King Huai (懷, a different Chinese character) was his posthumous title.[1]
King Huai succeeded his father King Wei of Chu, who died in 329 BCE. In 299 BCE King Huai was trapped and held hostage by King Zhao of Qin when he went to the state of Qin for negotiation, and his son King Qingxiang of Chu ascended the throne. King Huai managed to escape but was recaptured by Qin. Three years later, he died in captivity.[1]
One of his grandsons was later reinstated as King of Chu as the Qin dynasty descended into chaos, also under the name "King Huai of Chu"; this grandson was later known as Emperor Yi of Chu.
