Jijeung Of Silla
Jijeung (437–514) (r. 500–514) was the 22nd ruler and 1st king of the Korean kingdom of Silla. He is remembered for strengthening royal authority and building Silla into a centralized kingdom.

Princess Bohyeon
Princess is a title used by a female member of a regnant monarch's family or by a female ruler of a principality. The male equivalent is a prince (from Latin ''princeps'', meaning principal citizen). Most often, the term has been used for the consort of a prince, or for the daughter of a monarch. A crown princess can be the heir apparent to the throne or the spouse of the heir apparent. Princess as a substantive title Some princesses are reigning monarchs of principalities. There have been fewer instances of reigning princesses than reigning princes, as most principalities excluded women from inheriting the throne. An example of a princess regnant is Constance of Antioch, princess regnant of Antioch in the 12th century. Since the president of France, an office for which women are eligible, is ''ex-officio'' a co-prince of Andorra, then Andorra could theoretically be jointly ruled by a princess.

Galmunwang
''Galmunwang'' ({{Korean, hangul=갈문왕, hanja=葛文王) was a title used in the early period of the Korean kingdom of Silla. Its precise meaning and function are not known. From Korean sources, namely the ''Samguk sagi'', it would appear that the title of ''Galmunwang'' was granted to very high-ranking personages in early Silla and was equivalent to the king but without right of succession. It seems to have been granted to the chiefs of lineages of the clans of the reigning king, queen, and royal mother. As Lee Kibaik pointed out, the granting of the title of ''Galmunwang'' reflected the close relationship between the monarch and the other high noble families in early Silla.Lee Kibaik, ''Silla jeongchi sahoesa yeonggu'' tudies in Silla Socio–Political History Seoul: Iljogak (2002),p. 311. The granting of the title ''Galmunwang'' was discontinued during the middle period of Silla following the accession of King Muyeol King Taejong Muyeol (603–661), born Kim Ch'un-ch' ...

6th-century Women
The 6th century is the period from 501 through 600 in line with the Julian calendar. In the West, the century marks the end of Classical Antiquity and the beginning of the Middle Ages. The collapse of the Western Roman Empire late in the previous century left Europe fractured into many small Germanic kingdoms competing fiercely for land and wealth. From the upheaval the Franks rose to prominence and carved out a sizeable domain covering much of modern France and Germany. Meanwhile, the surviving Eastern Roman Empire began to expand under Emperor Justinian, who recaptured North Africa from the Vandals and attempted fully to recover Italy as well, in the hope of reinstating Roman control over the lands once ruled by the Western Roman Empire. Owing in part to the collapse of the Roman Empire along with its literature and civilization, the sixth century is generally considered to be the least known about in the Dark Ages. In its second golden age, the Sassanid Empire reached the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
