Great Eight Families
The Great Eight Families (, ) were eight noble families of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. They were the most powerful of the noble families and had been comrades in arms with the founding monarch Onjo of Baekje. They reached the pinnacle of their power during the Sabi, recorded in Chinese records such as ''Tongdian''. The Hae clan and the Jin clan were the representative royal houses who had considerable power from the early period of Baekje, and they produced many queens over several generations. The Hae clan was probably the royal house before the Buyeo clan replaced them, and both clans appear descended from the lineage of Buyeo and Goguryeo. History After the Battle at Mt. Amak fortress () against Silla during the beginning of the reign of King Mu of Baekje the Great Eight Families lost a great deal of power.

Baekje
Baekje or Paekche (, ) was a Korean kingdom located in southwestern Korea from 18 BC to 660 AD. It was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, together with Goguryeo and Silla. Baekje was founded by Onjo, the third son of Goguryeo's founder Jumong and So Seo-no, at Wiryeseong (present-day southern Seoul). Baekje, like Goguryeo, claimed to succeed Buyeo, a state established in present-day Manchuria around the time of Gojoseon's fall. Baekje alternately battled and allied with Goguryeo and Silla as the three kingdoms expanded control over the peninsula. At its peak in the 4th century, Baekje controlled most of the western Korean peninsula, as far north as Pyongyang, and may have even held territories in China, such as in Liaoxi, though this view is controversial. It became a significant regional sea power, with political and trade relations with China and Japan. Baekje was a great maritime power; its nautical skill, which made it the Phoenicia of East Asia, was instrumental i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mok Clan
The was a powerful noble clan of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. Origins The origins of the Mok clan are shrouded in the mists of time. Even though they were one of the most powerful families of Baekje only the name of a few of their members have survived in records. They seem to have a connection to the Gaya confederacy because the members of the clan became powerful after the King of Baekje invaded the Gaya confederacy. Afterwards they were deeply involved with the small confederacies of Gaya and exchange of goods and ideas between the two nations. In the Japanese ''Shinsen Shōjiroku'', the Hayashi clan (林氏) are descended from the Mok clan and possibly even the powerful Soga clan.
