Life

Yi Yeong was born on 5 September 1425 as the sixth son King Sejong, by his concubine, Royal Noble Consort Yeong of the Jinju Kang clan.[4]

In January 1433, he was granted the title of Prince Hwaui (화의군). In the 20th year of King Sejong (1438), he entered Sungkyunkwan.[5] On October 8 of the same year, he married Lady Park, daughter of Park Jung-son (박중손), as his primary wife.[5]

In 1441, he conspired with his half-brother, Grand Prince Imyeong, to bring a civilian woman into the palace in men's clothes.[6]

He was impeached and exiled several times for participating in the movement against Prince Suyang to restore King Danjong.[7]

After that, all property, including slaves and fields, were confiscated, and the children were demoted to the lowly status.[8] His family was exiled for nearly 30 years. He was released during the reign of King Seongjong but was reinstated only during the reign of King Jungjong.[9]
