董重质。
旧唐书卷一百六十一 列传第一百一十一:
  董重质,本淮西牙将,吴少诚之子婿也。性勇悍,识军机,善用兵。及元济拒命,重质又为谋主,领大军当王师,连岁不拔,皆重质之谋也。元和十二年,宰相裴度督兵淮西,至郾城,元济乃悉发左右及守城之卒,委重质而拒度。时李愬乘虚入蔡。既擒元济,重质之家在蔡,愬乃安恤之,仍使其子持书礼以召重质。重质见其子,知城已陷,及元济囚窘之状,乃慨然以单骑归愬,白衣叩伏。愬揖登阶,以宾礼与之食。宪宗欲杀之,愬奏许以不死而来降,请免之,且乞于本军驱使。于是,贬春州司户参军。
  明年,转太子少詹事,委武宁军收管驱使,仍加金紫。十五年,征入,授左神武军将军,知军事,兼御史中丞。仍赐金帛,与有功者等。寻授盐州刺史,又迁左右神策及诸道剑南西川行营节度使、检校左散骑常侍。太和四年,又转夏绥银宥节度使。五年,就加检校工部尚书。重质训兵立法,羌戎畏服。八年八月卒,赠尚书右仆射。
