Prince Gyeongchunwon (Korean: 경춘원군; Hanja: 慶春院君; lit. Prince of the Gyeongchun Courtyard; d. c.960) was a Korean Royal Prince as the only son of Jeongjong of Goryeo, from Queen Munseong,[1] also the nephew of Gwangjong of Goryeo.[2] Upon the death of his father on April 13 949, he was unable to succeed the throne due to his young age at the time. His uncle, King Gwangjong, succeeded in line to be the king and he was later executed by Gwangjong along with his half cousin Prince Heunghwa.[3][4]
