Life & career

Grand Prince Yangnyeong (Yi Je, 李禔) was the eldest son of King Taejong and was named crown prince in 1404. He lost his father's trust and was removed in 1418, after which his younger brother Grand Prince Chungnyeong became crown prince and later King Sejong.

He lived long as an elder of the royal house and was known for his poetry and calligraphy. His descendants form the Yangnyeong-daegun branch of the Jeonju Yi clan; Syngman Rhee, the first President of South Korea, was among them.
