# Prince Neungpung

Prince Neungpung (Hangul: 능풍군, Hanja: 綾豐君; 1596 - November 1604), personal name Yi Myeong (Korean: 이명; Hanja: 李佲), was a Mid-late Joseon Royal Prince of Korea and the only son of Wonjong of Joseon and Lady of the Pyeongyang Gim clan. He was the younger half brother of Injo of Joseon.

## Life

Yi became 4th Officer (부수, 副守) in 1601. Three years later, in November 1604, he died at age 9. Because of his early death, he did not marry. In March 1623, his older half brother, Yi Jong (이종), rebelled and ascended to the throne as King Injo (인조왕), but Myeong did not receive a royal title or posthumous name. Later, in 1872, during the 29th year of the reign of King Gojong, the Prince was given a royal title as Prince Neungpung (능풍군, 綾豐君) and became Yeongjongjeonggyeong (영종정경, 領宗正卿).

The Prince's tomb is located in Naegak-ri, Jeopdong-myeon, Pungyang-hyeon, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do (nowadays became the place around Naegak-ri, Jinjeop-eup, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do) but the specific location is unknown.
