King Yeongjo was a king of [[Joseon Dynasty]] Korea. Yeongjo's reign of nearly 52 years, from [[1724]] to [[1776]], saw what is often called the "Korean Renaissance," a cultural golden age which continued under his grandson & successor, [[King Jeongjo]] (r. [[1776]]-[[1800]]).
Yeongjo had only two sons. His elder son did in [[1728]] at the age of ten. After his second son, [[Crown Prince Sado|Sado]], was born, the latter was named Crown Prince at the age of one. Twenty-six years later, in the course of some political conflict, Yeongjo killed the Crown Prince; the details of this conflict, and the reasons underlying it, remain unclear.
