In this Chinese name, the family name is Zhuge.

Zhuge Ke (203 – November or December 253),[a] courtesy name Yuanxun (元逊), was a Chinese military general and politician of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China. He was the eldest son of Zhuge Jin, a military general who served under Wu's founding emperor, Sun Quan. After Sun Quan's death in 252, Zhuge Ke served as regent for Sun Quan's son and successor, Sun Liang, but the regency proved to be militarily disastrous due to Zhuge Ke's aggressive foreign policy towards Wu's rival state, Cao Wei. In 253, he was ousted from power in a coup d'état and killed along with his family.

  1. ^ The Wu Lu recorded that Zhuge Ke was 51 (by East Asian reckoning) when he died. (《吴录》曰：恪时年五十一.) Wu Lu annotation in Sanguozhi, vol.64. Thus by calculation, his birth year should be 203.
