Ma Hui-won was a mid-Goryeo official of the Jangheung Ma clan. Korean Wikipedia's clan entry says he passed the civil examination in 1190 and rose to Munha Sijung Pyeongjangsa, and was known for winning the submission of a Mongol envoy. Ma Cheon-mok's article gives Hui-won as his great-great-grandfather (fourth ancestor) who served as chief minister. His dates and hanja were not confirmed.
All of the above is a brief account based on the clan overview article; there is no separate Wikipedia article on him. The year of the Mongol envoy episode and the diplomatic circumstances were not confirmed. The post of Munha Sijung Pyeongjangsa was the highest minister level in Goryeo, indicating the family's standing, but the exact period was not confirmed. Because Goryeo's relations with the Mongols began in earnest in the thirteenth century, the date and anecdote need checking against later records.
Ma Hui-won is described as coming after Ma Hyeok-in in the line leading to Ma Jung-gi, and as a high ancestor of the eleventh-generation Ma Cheon-mok. Names and relations of intermediate generations may differ by genealogy. Uncertain parts are left blank rather than invented; please check specifics with the clan association and genealogy. The overall flow is on the Jangheung Ma page.
