About Danjong of Joseon
Danjong (Korean: 단종; Hanja: 端宗; 18 August 1441 – 16 November 1457), personal name Yi Hong-wi, was the sixth monarch of Joseon. He ascended to the throne at the age of 11, upon the death of his sickly father, King Munjong. Three years later, he was forced to abdicate by his uncle, Grand Prince Suyang (later King Sejo), and was subsequently put to death after having been demoted to princely rank and exiled.
