Reign Born as Wang Song, Mokjong was the only son of King Gyeongjong; however, when his father died, he was too young to become king, so it was his uncle, prince Gaeryeong Wang Chi, who succeeded to the throne as King Seongjong. Mokjong eventually became king after his uncle's death in 997 and chose his mother, Queen Honae, as regent. Mokjong is known for his reform of the ''Jeonsigwa'' (land-allotment system), and for a plot by his mother, Queen Honae and Kim Chi-yang to overthrow him.
