Heonan of Silla
Heonan of Silla was the 47th king of the Silla kingdom of Korea. He was the younger half-brother of King Sinmu. What little we know of his reign comes from the Samguk Sagi.
Following a famine in the year 859, he sent relief to the peasants and supported agriculture through the construction of irrigation works.
Being without a son, Heonan chose his relative Kim Eung-ryeom as his heir. After his death, Kim Eung-ryeom took the throne, becoming King Gyeongmun. His tomb in Gyeongju was known as the Gongjakji.
