Duke Cheng of Qin

Duke Cheng of Qin, personal name unknown, was the duke of the state of Qin during the Eastern Zhou dynasty from 663 BC to 660 BC.
Duke Cheng was the second of the three sons of his father Duke [De of Qin|Duke De]. His older brother Duke [Xuan of Qin|Duke Xuan] succeeded his father as ruler of Qin in 676 BC. However, when Duke Xuan died in 664 BC, he passed the throne to Duke Cheng instead of one of his nine sons. When Duke Cheng died four years later, he did the same and passed the throne to the third brother Duke [Mu of Qin|Duke Mu], even though he had seven sons.
