Uijong (23 May 1127 – 7 November 1173), personal name Wang Hyŏn, was the 18th king of the Goryeo dynasty of Korea. He honoured his civilian advisors with many ceremonies but discriminated against the military officials, often forcing them to participate in martial arts competitions for the entertainment of himself and the civil officials, as well as assigning them petty portions during land distributions. He also was often drunk, further angering the warrior class. Read more on Wikipedia
