Kim Chunchu

Background King Taejong Muyeol was born with the "sacred bone" rank of '' seonggol''. His father, Gim Yongsu (金龍樹), was a son of Silla's 25th ruler, King Jinji. When King Jinji was overthrown, all royalty from his line, including Gim Yongsu, were deemed unfit to rule over the kingdom. However, as Yongsu was one of the few remaining ''seonggols'', and married a ''seonggol'' princess ( King Jinpyeong's daughter Princess Cheonmyeong), their child, Gim Chunchu, became ''seonggol'' and thus had a claim to the throne. Gim Yongsu was a powerful figure in the government; however, he lost all of his power to Gim Baekban, the brother of the king. In order to survive, he accepted to become a ''jingol'', the rank that was right below ''seonggol'', therefore removing the right of becoming the king fo ...
