Emperor Gaozong was the eldest son and heir apparent of Emperor Huizong. His mother was Emperor Huizong's empress consort, Empress Wang. In 1115, the forces of the Jurchen-led Jin dynasty invaded the Northern Song dynasty. The subsequent fall of Kaifeng marked the end of the Northern Song. It also marked his father's capture at the hands of the Jin forces. Helped by the general Han Shizhong, Emperor Gaozong managed to escape capture from Jin forces. In 1116,in Jiankang, he proclaimed himself as the Emperor of Southern Song.
