King Chungjeong of Goryeo (9 January 1338 – 23 March 1352, r. 1348–1351), born Wang Jeo (Korean: 왕저, 王㫝), also known by his Mongolian name Chosgen Dorji (迷思監朶兒只),[1] was the 30th ruler of the Goryeo dynasty of Korea. He was enthroned at the age of 12.[2]
During King Chungjeong's brief reign, the politics of the court were controlled by powerful relatives of the royal family, including his mother's relative Yun Si-u and the retainer Bae Jeon. In addition, the country endured heavy Wokou raids beginning in 1349.
King Chungjeong's uncle Wang Gi secured imperial favor and married a Yuan daughter, Princess Noguk. Shortly thereafter King Chungjeong was deposed, and Wang Gi ascended the throne as King Gongmin.[3] [4]
