Biography

阎守恭,并州榆次人。
宋史卷三百二十三 列传第八十二:
  阎守恭,并州榆次人。父荣,倜傥有志略,刘继元欲召至帐下,辞以母老不就。守恭生而体貌奇伟,荣曰:"是必当事太平天子,吾无恨矣。"后十七年,刘氏平,徙太原民于大名府,因家焉。往来负贩于并、汾间,过西山,闻郭进为都巡检使,太宗甚宠遇之。乃慨然曰:"进不遇主,亦行伍尔,吾自度岂不及进邪?"遂应募,隶拱圣军,擢殿前押班。
  咸平中,从幸河北,以功为捧日副指挥使,历拱圣、龙卫、捧日指挥使,累迁左第二军指挥使、乾州刺史。明道中,落军职,以德州刺史为永兴军兵马钤辖,徙并代路。
  守恭性沉勇,御军严。虽家居如对宾客。常访求士大夫,取郭进事而师法之。所得奉禄悉散予人。在并州,因春社会宾客曰:"守恭,太原一贫民尔。徒步位刺史,老复官乡里,逾分多矣。今日与卿辈诀。"后十日卒。
