Boggodo (Manchu: ᠪᠣᡴᡩᠠ; 1650–1723) was a member of Manchu Aisin Gioro clan, a grandson of Hong Taiji, the eldest son of the Prince Chengzeyu Šose and a paternal cousin of the Kangxi Emperor.[1]
Boggodo was born in 1650 to Šose's primary consort, lady Nara. In 1655, he inherited the Prince Chengze peerage after his father's death under the name "Prince Zhuang of the First Rank" .[2]
His second daughter, Daokexin, was raised in the imperial palace and granted a title of the Princess of the Third Rank.[3] According to the tradition, a daughter of the imperial prince adopted into imperial household could receive a title of imperial princess (gongzhu). This honour was bestowed upon his adopted granddaughter, later known as Princess Duanrou of the Second Rank.
Boggodo died in 1723 and was posthumously honoured as Prince Zhuangjing of the First Rank (庄靖亲王, "zhuangjing" meaning "dignified and quiet"). He was succeeded by Yongzheng Emperor's half-brother, Yunlu, due to lack of a male heir.[4]
