Emperor Shengzong of Liao

Emperor of the Liao Dynasty
Years: 970 - 1031

Emperor Shengzong of Liao (January 16, 982 – June 25, 1031), born as Yelü Longxu, succeeds Emperor Jingzong as Emperor of the Liao Dynasty at the age of 12 in 982.

As he is too young to actually rule, his mother, Empress Dowager Xiao, effectively rules the kingdom.
