李英妻 The Wife of Li Ying

李英妻張氏。 The wife of Li Ying was a woman of the Zhang clan.

英初為監察禦史，在中都，張居濰州。 Ying first served as investigating censor at the Central Capital while Zhang remained at Wei Prefecture.

貞祐元年冬，大元兵取濰州，入其家，張氏盡以所有財物與之。 In the winter of the first year of Zhenyou (1213), Mongol forces took Wei Prefecture, entered her home, and Lady Zhang surrendered everything she owned.

既而，令張氏上馬，張曰：「我盡以物與汝，猶不見贖邪？」 Then they ordered her to mount a horse. She said, "I have given you everything I own—is that still not enough to let me go?"

張曰：「我死則為李氏鬼。」 Zhang said, "In death I shall be a ghost of the Li household."

追封隴西郡夫人，諡「莊潔」。 She was posthumously enfeoffed as Lady of Longxi Commandery with the posthumous name "Solemn and Chaste."
