Parentage[edit]

Is there a historical basis for considering Mu to be the son of Wideok? Some content to that effect was inserted, but I removed it as unverifiable. -- Visviva 22:42, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many Korean historians seem to think of King Wideok as his father because the royal power of the king had begun to fall during the reigns of Hye and Beop. BUT during King Mu's reign, there was a sudden power leap. The royal power of the king had been restored to what it was during King Wideok's. This could only mean that Mu's position to the throne as Wideok's son had allowed him to reclaim the power that his father had exercised over his subjects. If he was the son of Beop, the power of the king would've continued falling, but as i said before, it rose up instead. Yeah, i kno dat its a confusing concept, but its about the monarchial power.

Another thing, historians didn't say anything about the drama Seodongyo. Usually, if a historical drama distorts history to the point that it cant be considered history at all, the historians and scholars would yell at the director and writer of the drama. The historians did indeed say something, but they were talking in agreement and not in protest. That means that they thought that it could've been a possibility.--Kprideboi 02:17, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
