• Zhao Hongyin · 899–956 · Zhuozhou, China → Kaifeng, China — A general of the Later Zhou and father of the founders Taizu and Taizong; posthumously honoured as Emperor Xuanzu, the patriarch of the imperial House of Zhao.
• Dowager Du · 902–961 · Kaifeng, China — Wife of Zhao Hongyin and mother of both Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong; tradition credits her with the Golden Casket Covenant, the deathbed pact said to have willed the throne to her second son — the supposed justification for the succession of Taizong.

Posthumously Emperor Taizu.
• Taizong · 11/20/939–05/08/997 · Kaifeng, China → Kaifeng, China — Younger brother of Taizu who succeeded him in 976 (reigned 976–997) amid the unsolved court mystery of the candlelight shadow and the axe sound; he completed the reunification but lost the campaigns to retake the north. Posthumously Emperor Taizong.
• Zhenzong · 12/23/968–03/23/1022 · Kaifeng, China → Kaifeng, China — Son of Taizong (reigned 997–1022); after a Liao invasion he sealed the Chanyuan Treaty of 1004, buying a century of peace with annual tribute. Posthumously Emperor Zhenzong.

• Zhao Yunrang · 995–1059 · Kaifeng, China → Kaifeng, China — Grandson of Taizong and Prince of Pu; the biological father of Emperor Yingzong, whose posthumous honours later ignited the long court dispute known as the Pu Debate.
• Renzong · 05/30/1010–04/30/1063 · Kaifeng, China → Kaifeng, China — Son of Zhenzong and the longest-reigning Song emperor (1022–1063); his mild, scholarly reign is remembered as a cultural high point, but he outlived his sons and died without an heir. Posthumously Emperor Renzong.
• Yingzong · 02/16/1032–01/25/1067 · Kaifeng, China → Kaifeng, China — Great-grandson of Taizong, adopted by the heirless Renzong and raised to the throne in 1063 (reigned 1063–1067); his accession turned the succession onto a collateral branch of the House of Zhao. Posthumously Emperor Yingzong.

Posthumously Emperor Huizong.
• Qinzong · 05/23/1100–1161 · Kaifeng, China → Yanjing, China — Son of Huizong, to whom he abdicated as the Jin armies closed in (reigned 1126–1127); taken north with his father in the Jingkang Incident of 1127, he died decades later in captivity — the fall that ended the Northern Song.
• Gaozong · 06/12/1107–11/09/1187 · Kaifeng, China → Hangzhou, China — Son of Huizong who escaped the Jingkang catastrophe and refounded the dynasty as the Southern Song at Lin'an (Hangzhou) in 1127 (reigned 1127–1162); he made peace with the Jin and had the patriot general Yue Fei put to death. Posthumously Emperor Gaozong.
