Biography
沈赟，徐州下邳人。
旧五代史卷九十五（晋书） 列传十：
沈赟，字安时，徐州下邳人。少有胆气，初事梁太祖为小校。天祐三年，补同州左崇勇马军指挥使，入典卫兵，历龙骧、拱宸都指挥使，累有战功。及庄宗平梁，随段凝等降，不改其职。同光三年，从魏王继岌平蜀，属康延孝叛，魏王署赟为一行马步都虞候，领兵从任圜袭击延孝于汉州，擒之以献，未及策勋，会明宗登极。天成初，授检校司空、虢州刺史，其后历壁、随、石、卫、威、衍、忻、赵八州刺史，累官至检校太保，赐输忠宣力功臣。开运元年，为祁州刺史。其年冬，契丹入寇，自恒州回，以羸兵驱牛羊过其城下，赟乃出州兵以击之，契丹以精骑剡其门邀之，州兵陷贼。赵延寿知其无备，与蕃贼急攻之，仍呼谓赟曰：“沈使君我故人也，择祸莫若轻，早以城降，无自辱也。”赟登城呼曰：“侍中父子误计，陷于契丹，忍以毡幕之众，残害父母之邦，不自羞惭，反有德色。沈赟宁为国家死，必不效汝所为也。”翼日城陷，赟自刭而卒，家属为敌所掳。
