許古妻
The Wife of Xu Gu
許古妻劉氏，定海軍節度使仲洙之女也。
The wife of Xu Gu, née Liu, was a daughter of Zhongzhu, military commissioner of the Dinghai Army.
貞祐初，古挈家僑居蒲城，從留劉氏母子于蒲，仕於朝。
Early in Zhenyou, Gu moved his household to Pucheng, left Lady Liu and their sons there, and took office at court.
既而，兵圍蒲，劉謂二女曰：「汝父在朝，而兵勢如此，事不可保。
When troops besieged Pu, Liu told her two daughters, "Your father is at court, but with the army pressing us like this, nothing is safe.
已而，攻城益急，於是劉氏與二女相繼自盡。
The assault grew fiercer, and Lady Liu and her two daughters took their lives one after another.
有司以聞於朝，四年五月，追封劉氏為郡君，諡曰「貞潔」，其長女諡曰「定薑」，次「肅薑」，以其事付史館。
Officials reported the matter to court. In the fifth month of the fourth year, Lady Liu was posthumously enfeoffed as Commandery Lady with the posthumous name "Chaste and Pure"; her elder daughter received the posthumous name "Dingjiang" and the younger "Suojiang"; the Historiography Office was ordered to record the affair.
