Emperor Gaozong was the first emperor of China's [[Southern Song Dynasty]].
After his father [[Emperor Huizong]] and brother [[Emperor Qinzong of Song]] were captured in the fall of the [[Northern Song Dynasty]] capital of [[Kaifeng]] to the [[Jurchens]], Gaozong escaped and hid for some time on an island off the southeast Chinese coast, before returning to establish a new temporary capital at [[Hangzhou]] in [[1138]]. Gaozong then concluded a peace agreement with the Jurchen [[Jin Dynasty]] in [[1142]], agreeing to pay [[tribute]] to the Jin, and accepting the [[Huai River]] as the northern boundary of the Song Empire.
