Silla (57 BC – 935 CE) was one of the
Three Kingdoms of Korea. In the early years, Silla was ruled by the
Pak,
Sǒk, and
Kim families. Rulers of Silla had various titles, including Isageum, Maripgan, and Daewang. Like some Baekje kings, some declared themselves emperor.
The
Goryeo dynasty ruled in
Korea from 918 to 1392. It comprised 34 kings in 17 generations. What follows is, first, a selective genealogy of the reigning Wang clan,[1] and second, a table showing the relations between the
Mongol-led
Yuan dynasty and Goryeo royalty.[2]

abUnlike other Joseon monarchs, who could receive a
temple name after their death, Yeonsangun and Gwanghaegun never had one due to being overthrown and gun denotes "prince" instead of king.
^Gojong became the first emperor of the
Korean Empire in 1897[7][8] and abdicated in 1907; he was demoted to "King Emeritus Yi" in 1910.[9][10]
^Sunjong abdicated in 1910 and became "King Yi" at the same time.[10]
^Yi Un became the Imperial Crown Prince of the Korean Empire in 1907 by Japanese government, only to be demoted to the "Crown Prince of King Yi" in 1910.[10][11] He succeeded the title King Yi in 1926 and lost it in 1947 according to the new constitution in Japan.[12][13] His
posthumous name, Crown Prince Euimin (의민황태자), was made by the
Jeonju Lee Royal Family Association.[14][15]

Lady Eom, the Imperial Noble Consort just gained much love from the Emperor [Emeritus] and she wanted to promote her son's position, so she bribed
Itō Hirobumi for his support; the Prince Imperial Ui, despite being elder, had many scandals and lost reputation, making him lack to support... and so, people eventually agreed to make
Yi Un the crown prince, following the precedent from King
Jeongjong of Joseon.)《매천야록》卷之五·隆熙元年丁未第2條
