King Gyeongsun (English: King Gyeongsun-wang)

Japanese: 敬順王 - けいじゅんおう（英語表記）Kyǒngsun-wang

[raw]?
[Died] Jeongjong 3 (979)
The 56th (last) king of Silla, Korea (reigned 927-935). His given name was Fu, and his posthumous name was Gyeongsun or Hyoai. At the end of the Silla period, during the conflict between the Later Three Kingdoms, Gyeonheon (Kenken) of Later Baekje invaded Gyeongju, the capital of Silla, in the 4th year of King Gyeongae's reign (927), forcing King Gyeongae to commit suicide and supporting his younger brother Kim Fu, who became King Gyeongsun. King Gyeongsun saw that the newly emerging Goryeo under Wang Geon was powerful and popular, and so in the 9th year of King Gyeongsun's reign (935), King Gyeongsun surrendered to Goryeo. Wang Geon welcomed him with generosity, married him to his daughter, guaranteed his noble status, gave him Gyeongju as his fiefdom, and appointed him as the samurai of Gyeongju, treating him with kindness.

[没]景宗3(979)
朝鮮，新羅の第 56代 (最後) の王 (在位 927～935) 。諱は傅。諡は敬順，あるいは孝哀。新羅末期，後三国の対立時代，後百済の甄萱 (けんけん) は景哀王4 (927) 年，新羅の首都慶州に侵入して景哀王に迫って自殺させ，族弟の金傅を擁立した。すなわち敬順王である。敬順王は新興の王建の高麗が有力であり人望も彼に帰しているのをみて，敬順王9 (935) 年進んで高麗に投降した。王建は寛大にこれを迎え，自分の娘と結婚させ貴族の地位を保障し慶州をその食邑として与えるとともに慶州の事審官に任命して優遇した。
