Genealogy of Joseon Monarchs
Monarchs in the Joseon Dynasty of Korea are descended from Emperor Taejo of the Jeonju Lee lineage. Joseon Monarchs ruled Korea from 1392 until 1897. In 1897, the name of the country was changed from Joseon to the Korean Empire, and was ruled by Emperors continuing in the same lineage until the Empire was dissolved in 1910, at the time of the annexation of Korea by Japan.
Only direct descendents in the paternal line are shown in the genealogy, and sons who died in infancy are omitted. Legitimate sons, the sons of Queens, are listed first, in boxes outlined in blue, followed by sons of concubines, listed in order of their date of birth.
Taejo and his descendants
Descendents of Taejo, first ruler of Joseon. Taejo was posthumeously given the title Emperor by Emperor Gojong. Taejo become the first Joseon king after serving as a military leader in the waning days of the Goryeo period, taking control of the throne by force in 1388, after which he left the Goryeo leaders on the throne for four more years. He ruled for just six years after ascending the throne himself in 1392. In 1398, disheartened by the fighting between his eight sons, he turned the throne over to his second son, King Jeongjong (the eldest had already died). Jeongjong's reigh was even shorter than his father's, lasting only two years, and then the kingdom passed to his younger brother, Taejong. TaejongHe rul
