PersonAD 661

Dochim

Baekje monk who raised the Baekje restoration movement at Juryuseong with Boksin, who later killed him

When Baekje fell in 660 he rose at Juryuseong with the royal Boksin and styled himself General Commanding the Army. The restoration forces at one point retook some 200 fortresses and besieged the Tang troops in Sabi. But the leadership split and Boksin killed him, a rift that helped bring the movement down.
