ABSTRACT

Ke-ling-kou(怯憐口), who came to Goryeo in attendance on Princess Jegukdaejang(齊國大長公主) during King Chungryeol(忠烈王)’s regime, obtained a high position and authority relying on her power. They are generally categorized as King Chungryeol’s close associate, but such interpretation is improper in that they often did actions against the king without hesitation and put Mongol Qa’an’s opinions before the king’s. They were the bond servants giving their fealty and providing a service only to the princess, so they should be regarded as her close associate. After the death of the princess, her private possessions including Ke-ling-kou were inherited to the crown prince just as they were. After accession, King Chungseon(忠宣王) guaranteed their positions and power intactly in order to use them as his devoted servants assisting his political activities as the princess had done. They also accepted a subordinate relationship with their new lord, King Chungseon, and acted as his truly close associate.
