Anjong (Korean: 고려 안종; Hanja: 高麗 安宗; about 920/37–24 July 996[a]), personal name Wang Uk, was a Goryeo Royal Prince as the only child of King Taejo and Queen Sinseong.
[citation needed] After King Gyeongjong's death in 981, Queen Heonjeong started to live in her own mansion, which was close to Wang Uk's, so the two often met and spent time together.
[citation needed] Eventually, Heonjeong had a son with him, Wang Sun (왕순; the future Hyeonjong of Goryeo), but died during childbirth.
[6] Wang Uk was exiled to Sasu-hyeon (now Sacheon, South Korea) because of his affair with the widowed queen, who was also his niece.
[citation needed] Wang Sun returned to the capital in 997, and, when he ascended to the throne, granted a posthumous name to his father.
