Life & career
Won Mong-rin (1648-1674) was a Joseon prince consort of the Wonju Won clan, with courtesy name Yongyeo. He was the husband of Princess Sukgyeong, sixth daughter of King Hyojong and Queen Inseon, grandson of the Left State Councillor Won Du-pyo and son of Won Man-ri, governor of Pyeongan. Sources spell his grandfather's name either Won Du-pyo or Won Du-chu. Chosen as a royal in-law just past age ten, he was given the title Heungpyeong-wi in 1659 as the princess's husband, but King Hyojong died that year and the marriage took place three years later.
His first rank was Sungdeok Daebu, raised to Gwangdeok Daebu in 1661. Joseon prince consorts received high rank and honor but generally stayed out of politics, so the family's link to the royal house remained a marriage tie rather than political power. When his father Won Man-ri and his grandmother died in succession in 1674, he fell ill and died at 27. In 1686, on the sixtieth birthday of Queen Jangnyeol, he was posthumously raised to Surok Daebu.
He and the princess had a daughter who died young, and he adopted Won Myeong-gwi. Wikipedia lists Won Gyeong-ha as his grandson, and Gyeong-ha's son was Won In-son, who became Right State Councillor. His tomb (the Juk-seo Won Mong-rin tomb site) is at Sanggu-ri, Daesin-myeon, Yeoju, designated Gyeonggi Cultural Heritage Material No. 129 on 6 May 2004.
