Fiefs of nine of these princes were located at borders of Central and Mongol for defensive. Hongwu Emperor also posthumously bestowed his late patrilineal and matrilineal relatives with princely titles too. This article shows all princes of Ming dynasty, included non-actual princes (male imperial members and nobles had not title). {{main|Princes of the Ming dynasty}}Forefathers of House of ZhuFor convenience to shows relationships of these imperial princes and emperors, this text will shows forefathers of Hongwu Emperor and their sons.
