Kim Bo-dang

Northeastern commander who rose in 1173 to restore Uijong and was executed

His was the first revolt by civil officials against the military regime. He brought Uijong from Geoje to Gyeongju, but the revolt was soon crushed and Yi Ui-min killed the deposed king. The military rulers then purged civil officials even more harshly.
