An Sǔng (English spelling)

Japanese: 安勝 - あんしょう（英語表記）An Sǔng

A royal family member from the late Goguryeo period in Korea. Dates of birth and death unknown. Also called An Shun. Said to be either the nephew of Cheon Gaesomun or the maternal grandson of King Bozang. After the fall of Goguryeo in 668, Kenboshin tried to restore Goguryeo with Anseung as king and leading the surviving people, but was defeated by the Tang army and fled to Silla. King Munmu of Silla placed them in Geummadou (Iksan County, North Jeolla Province), enfeoffed Anseung as king of Goguryeo, and made him King Bodeok in 674. King Shinmun then moved him to the capital of Gyeongju in 683 and bestowed the surname Kim and the rank of Soban, but the surviving people rebelled at Geummadou and were defeated.

朝鮮，高句麗末期の王族。生没年不詳。安舜ともいう。泉蓋蘇文の甥とも宝蔵王の外孫ともいう。668年の高句麗滅亡後，剣牟岑（けんぼうしん）は安勝を王に戴き遺民を率いて高句麗の再興を図ったが，唐軍に敗れて新羅に逃れた。新羅の文武王は彼らを金馬堵(全羅北道益山郡)に置き，安勝を高句麗王に封じ674年には報徳王とした。つづいて神文王は683年に彼を都の慶州に移し，金氏の姓と蘇判の位階を授けたが，遺民は金馬堵で反乱して敗れた。
