Prince Jeongwon (정원군) or Great Prince Jeongwon (정원대원군, 2 August 1580–29 December 1619) was a Prince during the Joseon Dynasty. He was an illegitimate son of the Joseon Dynasty's 14th monarch, King Seonjo, and half brother of King Gwanghaegun of Joseon,[1] and father of Injo. His birth name was Lee Boo (이부, 李琈).
He first held the title of Prince Jeongwon (定遠君, 정원군) and later re-titled as Grand Prince Jeongwon (定遠大院君, 정원대원군). In 1592, during the Japanese invasions of Korea, he escaped with King Seonjo[2] and awarded in 1604 in recognition of helping the king to escape.
