Biography
陈元桂，抚州人。
宋史卷四百五十 列传第二百九：
陈元桂，抚州人。淳祐四年进士。累官知临江军。时闻警报，筑城备御，以焦心劳思致疾。开庆元年春，北兵至临江，时制置使徐敏子在隆兴，顿兵不进。元桂力疾登城，坐北门亭上督战，矢石如雨，力不能敌。吏卒劝之避去，不从。有以门廊鼓翼蔽之者，麾之使去。有欲抱而走者，元桂曰："死不可去此。"左右走遁。师至，元桂瞠目叱骂，遂死之。县其首于敌楼，越四日方敛，体色如生。
初，亲戚有劝其移治者，元桂曰："子亦为浮议所摇耶？时事如此，与其死于饥馑，死于疾病，死于盗贼，孰若死于守土之为光明俊伟哉？"家人或请登舟，不许，且戒之曰："守臣家属岂可先动，以摇民心。"敏子以闻，赠宝章阁待制，赐缗钱十万，与一子京官、一子选人恩泽，立庙北门，谥曰正节。
