Heonjong (1 August 1084 – 6 November 1097), personal name Wang Uk, was the 14th monarch of the Goryeo dynasty of Korea. He was the eldest son of King Seonjong. According to the Goryeosa, he was a bright child and excelled in writing by the age of 9.
In the year of his accession, Heonjong was faced by the rebellion of Yi Cha-ui, which was quickly put down.[1] In the following year, he fell ill and gave up the throne to King Sukjong, his uncle.[2]
