Years: 568 - 579
Emperor Pyeongwon, the twenty-fifth ruler of Goguryeo, the northernmost of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, is said to have been courageous, and skilled in horsemanship and archery.
By this time, the royal power has been significantly eroded by the aristocracy.
Concerned for the people, Pyeongwon has encouraged agricultural and sericultural developments, and maintained tense but relatively peaceful relations with the Gökturks and the various Chinese dynasties, briefly battling the Northern Zhou in the Liaodong Peninsula.
