Taejong was the third king of the Joseon Dynasty in Korea and the father of King Sejong the Great. Born Yi Pang-Won, Taejong helped his father found a new dynasty by disposing of powerful and loyal confucian official. His father was supposedly displeased by this act, and handed the succession to Taejong's older brother. The more martial Taejong later managed to have this brother step aside, however. Taejong was known for his passion for hunting, considered unseemly in a ruler, and he abdicated in 1418 in favour of his son, Sejong.
