The king of the Baekje dynasty of Korea
About Guisin
Guisin (?–427, r. 420–427) was the nineteenth king of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. He was the eldest son of King Jeonji and Lady Palsu.
The traditional dates of Guisin's rule are based on the Samguk sagi, however, only the date of enthronement and his death is recorded.
Based on more contemporaneous Chinese records, the historian J. W. Best has suggested that the years 414–429 or 430 are more plausible.
Different accounts regarding the reign of the king By the records of Samguk sagi, he reigned from 420 to 427 AD for eight years, which can be calculated from the record. However, the Book of Song does not mention Guisin as the king and goes straight from Jeonji (written as 餘映.Read as yeoyeong) to Biyu (written as 餘毗.Read as Yeobi) Nihon Shoki accounts that since Guisin was young that a figure called Mokumanchi (木滿致), son of Mokurakonshi (木羅斤資), ruled for him and quotes from a record of Baekje that is now lost.
Family Father: Jeonji of Baekje Mother: Lady Palsu (八須夫人, 생몰년 미상) – from the Jin clan. Queen: unknown Buyeo Bi (扶餘毗?–455) – 20th King of Baekje, Biyu of Baekje.
