He was remembered in the
Goryeosa for his licentious lifestyle, particularly his habit of
abducting, raping, and killing women. King Chunghye was the son of
King Chungsuk of Goryeo and
Queen Gongwon, a
Hong. He is sometimes known by his
Mongolian name,
Putashiri, which is rendered in
hanja as ''Put'apsilri'' (). King Chunghye travelled to the
Yuan Dynasty in 1328. In 1330, then-king
King Chungsuk petitioned to abdicate the throne, and the emperor sent King Chunghye back to Goryeo to assume the throne. But in the following year, King Chungsuk returned to the throne and King Chunghye returned to China. In 1339, King Chungsuk died. One faction supported the noble
Wang Go's claim to the
throne, but their attempted coup failed and King Chunghye's reign was restored. King Chunghye's queen was
Princess Deoknyeong, who gave birth to
King Chungmok. After his father's death, Chunghye raped one of his father's concubines,
Princess Gyeonghwa, who attempted to flee Goryeo. Chunghye imprisoned her in the palace. The
Yuan emissary eventually visited the palace to visit Princess Gyeonghwa, who informed him of what had transpired. Then, the Yuan emissary arrested Chunghye and dragged Chunghye to Beijing. Initially, Goryeo officials held debates on whether or not to rescue Chunghye, but many Goryeo officials deliberately delayed on their decision making due to how widely hated he was by the Goryeo court. Chunghye was dethroned, forced to remain in the court of the Yuan Dynasty, and his son ascended the throne of Goryeo. ==Family==
