Historical figures mentioned in my article 17

​Duke Ai of Jin​​ (晋哀公), personal name ​​Ji Jiao​​ (姬骄), was a ruler of the Jin state during the Warring States period.

In 453 BC, the ​​Han韩, Zhao赵, and Wei魏 clans​​ jointly defeated ​​Zhi Yao智瑶,the Earl of Zhi,​​ and partitioned his territories. The following year (452 BC), they expelled ​​Duke Chu of Jin晋出公​​ and installed ​​Duke Ai of Jin​​ as a puppet ruler. By this time, Jin had effectively been divided among the three clans, with real power held by ​​Han, Zhao, and Wei​​.

Duke Ai of Jin died in 434 BC.
