Nuoni Explained

Nuoni
Beile
Birth Date:4 February 1643
House:Aisin Gioro
Father:Lolohun

Nuoni (諾尼, 4 February 1643 - 9 February 1701) was Qing dynasty imperial prince as the third son of Lolohun, a grandson of Yoto and Daišan's great grandson.[1] Though being a relatively unremarkable clansman, Nuoni led to the posthumous demotion of Prince Anhe of the First Rank Yolo and his sons, which was one of the causes of abolition of the Prince An peerage.

Life

Nuoni was born on 4 February 1643 to Princess Consort Yanxijie of the Second Rank, lady Tunggiya. He had two brothers, Luokeduo and prematurely deceased Bahata.[2]

In 1656, Nuoni was granted a title of prince of the third rank.[3] Nuoni was blamed by Yolo for unwilling to demonstrate the filial piety and demoted to the commoner in 1665.[4]

In 1690, Nuoni wrote a memorial denouncing the deeds of deceased Prince Anhe of the First Rank Yolo.[5] In the memorial Yolo was accused of sowing discord among the ministers and false accusation of lack of filial piety. Yolo's sons Prince Xi of the Second Rank Jingxi and Prince Qin of the Second Rank Yunduan were implicated in the case.[6] As a result, Yolo was deprived of his posthumous name and demoted to prince of the second rank,[7] Jingxi was demoted to grace defender duke and Yunduan was demoted to prince of the fourth rank and further deposed for sympathy to Han Chinese rebels.[8]

In 1700, Nuoni had his title restored after it was revealed that Yolo's allegations towards him were unjustified, as mentioned in the decree:

“诺尼无罪,着仍授为多罗贝勒"

"Nuoni is innocent, hereby is eligible to held a title of Prince of the Third Rank"[9]

Nuoni died on 9 February 1701 and was succeeded by his 13th son, Nuo'entuohe, who was granted a title of grace defender duke with the honorifical name "Keshun" (恪顺, meaning: "respectful and obedient").[10]

Family

Nuoni was initially married to lady Khorchin Borjigit, daughter of the prince consort Bilaxi. Later on, he married lady Irgen Gioro, a daughter of master commandant of cloud cavalry Fulu. He had 20 sons, among whom only 8 survived the childhood.----
