Some Famous People called Sejong Great

Sejong the Great

Sejong the Great (세종대왕, ; 15 May 1397 – 8 April 1450) was the fourth king of the Joseon dynasty of Korea. He was the third son of King Taejong from Queen Wongyeong, and was designated as Crown Prince after his older brother, Grand Prince Yangnyeong, was stripped of his title. He ascended to the throne in 1418, but during the first four years of his reign, Taejong governed as regent and executed Sejong's father-in-law, Sim On, and his close associates.

Sejong reinforced Korean Confucian and Neo-Confucian policies, and enacted major legal amendments ( ). He personally created and promulgated the Korean alphabet Hangul, encouraged advancements of science and technology, and introduced measures to stimulate economic growth. He dispatched military campaigns to the north and instituted the policy ( ) to attract new settlers to the region. To the south, he helped subjugate Japanese pirates, and during the Ōei Invasion capture Tsushima Island (also known as Daema Island in the Korean language).

From 1418 to 1422, Sejong governed along with his father, Taejong. He then governed as the sole monarch from 1422 to 1450, although after 1439 he became increasingly ill, and starting from 1442, his son, Crown Prince Yi Hyang (the future King Munjong), acted as regent.
