| These are the tombs of King Hyojong, the 17 th
ruler of the Joseon Dynasty, who reigned from 1649~1659
with his queen, Queen Inseon. The tomb of King Hyojong
is surrounded by a dense forest and lies near the
tomb of King Sejong. Hyojong, the second son of
Injo, was born on May 22, 1619. In 1626, entitled
Bongnim Daegun . In 1636, during the Manchu War,
both he and his older brother, the Crown Prince
Sohyeon, were captured and taken to serve as pledges
to Shenyang of the Ching Dynasty in China for eight
years. After they were released, the Crown Prince
Sohyeon died from illness in 1646 and Hyojong became
the next in line to the throne. On May 13, 1649,
Hyojong ascended to the throne at the Injo Gate
of Cheongduk Palace. After he was crowned king,
Hyojong enforced the Daedong Law, which declared
rice as the main grain for taxation, and instituted
the sangpyeongtongbo as the main form of currency.
His plan to save the face of the Joseon Dynasty
by taking revenge on the Ching Dynasty never came
to fruition and he passed away on May 4, 1659 after
a 10-year reign.
