Sinjong of Goryeo (11 August 1144 – 15 February 1204, r. 1197–1204), personal name Wang T'ak, was the twentieth monarch of the Goryeo dynasty of Korea. The fifth son of King Injong, King Sinjong took the throne after his brother King Myeongjong was sent into exile by Ch'oe Ch'ung-hŏn.
He was wise, but like his brother before him had no true power, which was in the hands of Ch'oe Ch'ung-hŏn (this marked the beginning of the Choe family's military rule). Sinjong's reign was marked by waves of civil uprisings, such as rebellions and uprisings in Myeongju, Jinju, Geumju, Hapcheon, Gyeongju, and Gwangju.[1] Sinjong also witnessed the kin strife of the Choe family and soon after became ill, abdicating in favor of his son King Huijong due to Choe's demands.[2][3]
