Jinheung of Silla

Jinheung of Silla rose to the throne at a young age when his predecessor and paternal uncle / maternal grandfather, Beopheung, died.

Since he was too young to rule a kingdom at the time, his mother Queen Jiso acted as regent.

One of his first acts as true king of Silla was to appoint a man named Kim Isabu as Head of Military Affairs, which occurred in 541.

King Jinheung guarded the new territory with a firm hand for seven years before sending General Kim Isabu to conquer Daegaya in 561.

[3] King Jinheung constructed a monument in his newly conquered territory and established provinces in the area.
