King Chungjeong Wang ( Korean 충정왕 ) (born January 9, 1338 in Kaesŏng , Kingdom of Goryeo ; † February 23, 1352 on Ganghwado Island , Goryeo) was the 30th king of the Goryeo Empire and the Goryeo during his reign from 1348 to 1351 Dynasty ( 고려 왕조 ) (918–1392).
Life
Chungjeong Wang was the second-born son of King Chunghye Wang ( 충혜왕 ) and his second wife Hee-Bi ( 희비 ), who came from the Papyeong Yun clan. At his birth, Chungmok was given the name Wang Jeo ( 왕저 ). King Chungmok Wang was not married, but succeeded his older half-brother King Chungmok Wang ( 충목왕 ) to the throne when he died in December 1348. At that time, King Chungjeong Wang was just twelve years old, so the mother of his half-brother Princess Deoknyeong took over the reign for him.
King Chungmok Wang was removed from the throne in 1351 , deported to Ganghwado Island ( 강화도 ), lying on the west coast, and poisoned in February 1352. He died at the age of only fourteen. His grave is not known. He was succeeded by King Gongmin Wang ( 공민왕 ), the second-born son of his grandfather King Chungsuk Wang ( 충숙왕 ), to the throne.
Under the control of the Mongols
Like his forefathers, Chungjeong Wang and all men, from the king down to ordinary citizens in the Gorgeo Empire, had to wear the Mongolian hair style, in which the front hair was completely removed and a plait was worn on the back of the head. It was also compulsory to wear Mongolian clothing, to speak the Mongolian language and to send the young princes of the court to the Mongol Empire for training.
With Chungjeong Wang's ancestor, King Chungnyeol Wang 충렬왕 , the duty of Kings Goryeos to use Mongolian names began. As happened for earlier kings, from 1274 onwards the syllables jo ( 조 ) for ancestor and jong ( 종 ) for ancestors were no longer allowed to create a posthumous "temple name" for the kings. Instead, the names of the kings had to be prefixed with chung ( 충 ) to express the spirit of loyalty to the Yuan dynasty. The addition wang ( 왕 ), as a symbol for king, had to be placed after the name.
With the power of the Mongols over the Goryeo empire, its kings were no longer independent rulers of their kingdom for almost 80 years, but were firmly integrated into the structure of the Yuan dynasty as sons-in-law. This only changed with King Gongmin Wang ( 공민왕 ), who managed to free Goryeo from the rule of the Mongols.
