About Gye
Lived 150 – 346.
King Gye (died 346, r. 344–346) was the twelfth king of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.
Background He was the eldest son of the 10th king Bunseo, who was assassinated in 304. The Samguk sagi records that "he was naturally hard and brace, and skilled with horse and bow. When Bunseo died, Gye was too young to succeed him, so Biryu (younger brother of the 7th king Saban) succeeded him, dying in the 41st year of his own reign. Then Gye succeeded him".
Reign His rule indicated the continued the rivalry between two royal lines, that of the 5th king Chogo and that of the 8th king Goi, from whom Gye descended. The Goi line ended with Gye's 2-year reign, as he was succeeded by Biryu's son Geunchogo.
Samguk sagi: 346 AD, autumn, ninth month. The king died.
