Huijong (21 June 1181 – 31 August 1237), personal name Wang Yŏng, was the 21st king of the Goryeo dynasty of Korea. It is said of King Huijong that if he were to have grown old he would have made a great king. When his father ascended to the throne and Huijong became Crown Prince, he rebelled against Ch'oe Ch'ung-hŏn, the military leader of that time, and his younger brother Ch'oe Ch'ung-su. Huijong grew truly hostile towards them after Ch'ung-su forced the Crown Princess to abdicate so that he could replace her with his daughter. Read more on Wikipedia
