Grand Prince Yeongchang (Korean: 영창대군; 12 April 1606 – 19 March 1614), personal name Yi Ui, was a Joseon royal prince as the only legitimate son of King Seonjo, from Queen Inmok[3] who was born when his father was already 55 years old.[4][unreliable source?] Due to this, Yeonguijeong Yu Yeong-gyeong (유영경) once tried to select Yeongchang as the Crown Prince (왕세자; 王世子) to replace his older half-brother, Crown Prince Yi Hon, which eventually caused him to be unjustly executed after Hon's ascension to the throne.[5][unreliable source?] People often said that his sad life and death is equivalent to Chang of Goryeo.[6]
