Munjong of Goryeo
Munjong was the 11th monarch of the Goryeo Dynasty, who ruled Korea from 1046 to 1083.
King Munjong was born in 1019, and reigned from 1046 until his death in 1083. During his reign, the central government of Goryeo gained complete authority and power over local lords. Munjong, and later Kings, emphasized the importance of civilian leadership over the military. Munjong expanded Korea's borders northward to the Yalu and Tumen Rivers.
Munjong's fourth son, Uicheon, became a Buddhist priest who founded the Cheontae as an independent school of Buddhism.Family
