Kae‐ro‐wang (English spelling)

Japanese: 蓋鹵王 - がいろおう（英語表記）Kae‐ro‐wang

?‐475
King of Baekje, Korea. Also read as "Kourou". Reigned 455-475. His given name was Keishi. In Chinese history books, he is called Yokei, and in the Nihon Shoki, he is also called Kasuri no Kimi. In 457, he applied for a royal tribute from the Song Dynasty and was appointed General of the Eastern Empire. In the following year, 458, he also requested the appointment of 11 senior vassals, strengthening his position in the international community and establishing authority over his domestic rule. However, Goguryeo was rapidly expanding southward at that time, and in 472, he requested Wei to send troops to Goguryeo, but his request was rejected. Then, in 475, the royal capital Hanseong (Gwangju) was taken by the army of Goguryeo's King Jangsu, and King Gaero was killed.

？‐475
朝鮮，百済の王。〈こうろおう〉とも読む。在位455‐475年。諱（いみな）は慶司。中国史書には余慶とあり，《日本書紀》では加須利君とも記す。457年，みずから宋に封冊を求めて鎮東大将軍に任ぜられ，翌458年には重臣11人の任官も要請するなど，国際社会における地位の強化と国内支配の権威づけにつとめた。しかし当時高句麗の南下が著しく，472年には高句麗への出兵を魏に要請したがいれられなかった。そして475年高句麗長寿王の軍勢によって王都漢城(広州)がおとされ，蓋鹵王は斬殺された。
