Biography

During King Chungjeong's brief reign, the politics of the court were controlled by powerful relatives of the royal family, including his mother's relative Yun Si-u and the retainer Bae Jeon. In addition, the country endured heavy Wokou raids beginning in 1349.

King Chungjeong's uncle Wang Gi secured imperial favor and married a Yuan daughter, Princess Noguk. Shortly thereafter King Chungjeong was deposed, and Wang Gi ascended the throne as King Gongmin.[3][4]

Notes

  1. Wang Je does not appear in either the Goryeosa or Goryeosa Jeolyo. He only appears in the "Family Genealogy of the Wang clan of Gaeseong" (개성 왕씨 족보), so many debate his existence.
