Biography
马公，宿州人。
明史卷三百 列传第一百八十八：
马公，逸其名，高皇后父也，宿州人。元末杀人，亡命定远。与郭子兴善，以季女属子兴，后归太祖，即高皇后也。
公及妻郑媪皆前卒，洪武二年追封徐王，媪为王夫人，建祠太庙东。皇后亲奉安神主，祝文称“孝女皇后马氏，谨奉皇帝命致祭。”四年命礼部尚书陶凯即宿州茔次立庙，帝自为文以祭。
文曰：“朕惟古者创业之君，必得贤后以为内助，共定大业。及天下已安，必追崇外家，以报其德。惟外舅、外姑实生贤女，正位中宫。朕既追封外舅为徐王，外姑为王夫人，以王无继嗣，立庙京师，岁时致祭。然稽之古典，于礼未安。又念人生其土，魂魄必游故乡，故即茔所立庙，俾有司春秋奉祀。兹择吉辰，遣礼官奉安神主于新庙，灵其昭格，尚鉴在兹。”
二十五年设祠祭署，奉祀、祀丞各一人。王无后，以外亲武忠、武聚为之，置洒扫户九十三家。永乐七年北巡，亲谒祠下。守冢武戡为建阳卫镇抚，犯法，责而宥之。十五年，帝复亲祭，以戡为徐州卫指挥佥事。
