Emperor Xianzong was the son of [[Emperor Shunzong of Tang]], and took the throne less than a year after his father succeeded [[Emperor Dezong of Tang]]. His reign is known for reestablishing institutional power of the central imperial government, and the reassertion of [[Tang Dynasty|Tang]] authority over several provinces which had been lost to other powers.
Xianzong's death at the hands of [[palace eunuchs]], however, is also taken as marking a significant rise in the power of the eunuchs at court.
