Shěnyáng

Shěnyáng was the Liaodong fief of the Yuan King of Shen, a title created in 1307 for governing Goryeo settlers. In 1337 Wang Ko, a kinsman of the Goryeo kings, held the title from Shenyang.

Wang Ko pursued the Goryeo throne through the Yuan court, unsuccessfully pressing his claim in 1339 and 1340. After King Chunghye’s arrest in 1343 he briefly acted as king, before dying in 1345. His grandson Toghtua Bukha succeeded in 1354, refused the Goryeo crown in 1356 and died in 1388, the last King of Shen.
