Biography
Yi Yŏng was born on 5 September 1425 as the sixth son King Sejong, by his concubine, Royal Noble Consort Yeong of the Jinju Kang clan.[3]
In January 1433, he was granted the title of Prince Hwaŭi (화의군). In the 20th year of King Sejong (1438), he entered Sungkyunkwan.[4] On October 8 of the same year, he married Lady Park, daughter of Park Jung-son (박중손), as his primary wife.[4]
In 1441, he conspired with his half-brother, Grand Prince Imyŏng, to bring a civilian woman into the palace in men's clothes.[5]
He was impeached and exiled several times for participating in the movement against Prince Suyang to restore King Danjong.[6]
After that, all property, including slaves and fields, were confiscated, and the children were demoted to the lowly status.[7] His family was exiled for nearly 30 years. He was released during the reign of King Seongjong but was reinstated only during the reign of King Jungjong.[8]
