King Injo

Born: 1595
Died: 1649
Other Names: 李倧 (Yi Jong)
Korean: 仁祖 (Injo)

King 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]
