Biography

Prince Yeollyeong's parents were King Sukjong and one of his consorts, Royal Noble Consort Myeong of the Miryang Park clan (Korean: 명빈 박씨; Hanja: 䄙嬪 朴氏); when Yi Hwon was five (East Asian age reckoning), Lady Park passed away and he acquired the official title in the same year.[2] In 1707, Lady Kim, daughter of an official Kim Dong-pil (Korean: 김동필; Hanja: 金東弼), was chosen to be the spouse of Prince Yeollyeong and they married in the same year.[4][5] The couple had no issue. Prince Yeollyeong passed away in 1719 and his posthumous name was "Hyohyeon" (Korean: 효헌; Hanja: 孝憲).[3]

Family

Wife
  • Lady Kim of the Sangsan Kim clan (상산군 부인 김씨, 1698–1725):[6][7] Her maternal grandfather was Yi Pyo, Prince Imwon (임원군 이표, 1654–1724), a great-great-grandson of King Seonjo of Joseon.[8]

Issue

Prince Yeollyeong died without issue; as such, Yi Sang-dae, the second son of Prince Milpung (Prince Yeollyeong's third cousin) was chosen to be his heir in 1719[9] and given a new name Yi Gong (Korean: 이공; Hanja: 李糼) in 1727.[10]

  • Adopted son (annulled): Yi Gong, Prince Sangwon (상원군 이공, 1715–1733), a great-great-grandson of Crown Prince Sohyeon. He had no issue; as Prince Milpung was involved in the Musin Revolt, the adoption relationship was posthumously annulled in 1733.[11][12]
  • Adopted son (annulled): Yi Ohn, Prince Nakcheon (1720–1737), a 4-great-grandson of Prince Gyeongchang (9th son of King Seonjo) and the only son of Yi Chae (이채); appointed to be the heir to Prince Yeollyeong in 1734.[13][14] He had no issue; the adoption relationship was posthumously annulled during the reign of King Jeongjo.[15]
    • Adopted grandson (annulled): Yi Yeong, Prince Dalseon (1731–1749), a 6-great-grandson of Deokheung Daewongun (7th son of King Jungjong) and the second son of Yi Hyeong-jong.[16] He committed suicide after being abused by his adoptive mother, Lady Seo, the wife of Prince Nakcheon; therefore, the adoption relationship was posthumously annulled in 1750.[17][18] He married Lady Sin (1730–1786) of the Geochang Sin clan but they had no issue; his nephew Yi Min-sik (이민식, 1753–1817; grandson of Yi Hyeong-jong) was appointed to be his heir.[16]
  • Heir: Prince Eunsin (1755–1771), grandnephew of Prince Yeollyeong and the fourth son of Crown Prince Sado. He was posthumously made the successor of Prince Yeollyeong in 1776,[19] but not as his "adopted grandson" or "adopted son" of Prince Nakcheon.[20]
