Biography

edit

Yi became 4th Officer (부수; 副守) in 1601.[3] Three years later, in November 1604, he died at age 9. Because of his early death, he did not marry. In March 1623, his older half brother, Yi Jong (이종), rebelled and ascended to the throne as King Injo (인조왕), but Myeong did not receive a royal title or posthumous name. Later, in 1872, during the 29th year of the reign of King Gojong, the Prince was given a royal title as Prince Neungpung (능풍군; 綾豐君) and became Yeongjongjeonggyeong (영종정경; 領宗正卿).[4][2]

The Prince's tomb is located in Naegak-ri, Jeopdong-myeon, Pungyang-hyeon, Yangju, Gyeonggi Province (now around Naegak-ri, Jinjeop-eup, Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province) but the specific location is unknown.
