About Myeongjong of Joseon
Myeongjong (Korean: 명종; Hanja: 明宗; 13 July 1534 – 12 August 1567), personal name Yi Hwan, was the 13th monarch of Joseon. His father was King Jungjong and his mother was Queen Munjeong, the elder sister of Yun Won-hyeong. He ascended to the throne at the age of 11, upon the death of his childless half-brother, King Injong. Since he was too young to govern, his mother became regent.
