Yuan Huangtou (Chinese:zh:元黄头) was the son of emperor Yuan Lang of Eastern Wei. At that time, Gao Yang took control of the court of Eastern Wei and set the emperor as puppet. Finally, Yuan Huangtou was imprisoned by Gao Yang and, against his will, flown (via a large kite) from the tower of Ye, China. He survived this flight, but was later executed.
