Wang Jong

Marquess Sunan, or more commonly known as Duke Sunan, personal name Wang Jong was a Goryeo Royal Prince as the younger son of King Wonjong and Princess Gyeongchang.

Biography In 1263, alongside his older brother, he received his Royal Title of Prince Sunan . As the beloved son, from 1269, he temporarily took over the affairs of the court on behalf of his father, who went to Mongolia and in 1273, he visited the Yuan dynasty as an envoy. At this time, the Yuan's Emperor favored and liked him, then gave him 500 geun and 800 pil Jeo-pho . It was believed that those items given to him were much more than those given to the Crown Prince Wang Sim, his half brother. After this, he then honoured as Duke of Sunan . He often made small meals and his mother asked Jong-Dong how to prevent evil held a ceremony and buried "Jeon-chan" in the ground.

Knowing this, Chungnyeol immediately sent his people to study the monk's followers and in the following month, Kim Pang-gyŏng , Hŏ Kong and Cho In-gyu were sent to study Gyeongchang and Jong directly. As the Queen Consort and former Imperial Princess, Qutugh Kelmysh strongly insisted on the capture and the house should be seized strongly, so she had no choice and then destroyed Gyeongchang's family's house. Since this, Sunan, who had a lot of property and wealth, were all occupied by Qutugh own.

In addition, this incident's entire story was reported to the Yuan. Under their direction in 1277, Gyeongchang was deposed and reduced her to a commoner status. Following this, Sunan and Jong-Dong were exiled to Gueum Province . After 6 years there, Jong then summoned back to the capital city, Gaegyeong in 1283. Later in 1295, the King builted wealth for his sake and set up a vassal for it. Meanwhile, there was no records left about him after that.
