King Injo
From SamuraiWiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchKing Injo was the 16th king of Joseon Dynasty Korea. He came to the throne in 1623 in a coup known as the Injo Revolt, in which the pro-Ming Sŏin faction overthrew Prince Gwanghae and his Puk'in faction, who supported accommodation of the Manchus.[1]
Injo was a son of Prince Gwanghae's younger half-brother, and was thus a nephew of the man he overthrew and succeeded as ruler.[2]
