Abstract:	本文以明仁宗張皇后的外戚家族為主題，首先研究張皇后個人生平歷程、家世背景和家族源流，以探討張皇后對明初政治和對她家族的影響。其次再透過分析張氏家族受封爵與子孫繼承的過程，觀察外戚在明代皇室中傳承與興衰的真實情況。仁宗張皇后以軍戶之女身份，成為明代首位平民皇后，之後步步晉升至太皇太后。她中間歷經仁宗、宣宗、英宗三朝，盡心輔佐帝王處理政務，更有「女中堯、舜」之美稱。在宮闈作為方面，她獲得得明成祖的讚賞，制衡後宮勢力以維持和平，又展現拉攏大臣的政治智慧，以及成為家族飛黃騰達的媒介。因張皇后之故，張氏外戚具有封爵世襲一門二伯－「彭城伯」與「惠安伯」的榮寵。嘉靖八年(1529)，明世宗施行外戚封爵裁革令下，成為唯一倖存的簪纓世族。作為具有兩百多年歷史的皇室勛戚，在各種詭譎變化的朝政中，他們能夠鞏固地位並且屹立不搖，直至明亡。最後「彭城伯」與「惠安伯」皆選擇慷慨殉國，與皇家共存亡，得以見證明代的興盛與衰敗。 ;Thesis researches the development of the royal relatives of Empress Zhang during Ming Dynasty.
