Korean Royal Family Tree / Korean Imperial Family Tree

 


This is a Royal Family Tree of Korea, or Imperial Family Tree of Korea since Korea declared the Korean Empire in 1897 by the Emperor Gojong.

The Korean Empire(大韓帝國) was a Korean monarchical state proclaimed by Gojong, the 26th King of Joseon dynasty(1392~1897) and he became the first Emperor of the Korean Empire in 1897.

Emperor Gojong had 3 princes and 1 princess.
1st son: Emperor Sunjong (1874~1926)
: no successor
2nd son: Prince Imperial Ui (1877~1955)
: successed by Yi Gon(1919~1983) then by Yi Jun(1961~)
3rd son: Prince Imperial Yeong (1897~1970)
: successed by Yi Ku(1931~2005) then by Yi Won(1962~)
