Heongang Of Silla
Heongang (c.861–886), personal name Kim Chŏng, was the 49th to rule the Korean kingdom of Silla. According to the ''Samguk sagi'', he excelled at civil affairs. Heongang was the eldest son of Gyeongmun of Silla, King Gyeongmun; his mother was Queen Munui. He had no legitimate heir, but did leave a son (later Hyogong of Silla, King Hyogong) by Lady Uimyeong. In 879, Heongang was faced with the rebellion of a high official, his ''Ilgilchan'' Sin Hong. He is best remembered for the legends associated with him in the ''Samguk yusa'', which claimed that a dancing dragon appeared before him and rewarded the king when he built a temple to pay homage to the dragon god. In 886, he sought to defuse domestic discontent with a decree of general forgiveness. Heongang was buried to the northeast of Borisa temple in Gyeongju.
