Kyeru
Ancient Korean city-state
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kyeru (Korean: 계루; Hanja: 桂婁) was an ancient Korean city-state that formed within the former realm of Gojoseon. Ruled by the Kyeru clan (계루부; 桂婁部), it later became a member of the confederation of Jolbon together with Sono, Jeolno, Sun-no, and Gwan-no, and was given to King Dongmyeong.[1][2] A number of the members of the Go clan in the Kyeru lineage became kings of Goguyreo, including King Yuri and King Taejo, the second and sixth kings, respectively.[3]
