Gaeru of Baekje
|
Template:Koreanname noimage Gaeru (reigned 128–166) was the fourth king of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. He founded Bukhan Mountain Fortress in present-day Goyang city, Gyeonggi in 132. Baekje fought off many Goguryeo invasions from this fortress, and King Chogo based his northward campaign on it.
Baekje–Silla relationship was peaceful for most of his period of reign. In 165, Gilseon (길선/吉宣), a minister of Silla, failed his coup d'etat attempt and fled to Baekje. King Gaeru gave him refuge and the two countries became hostile.
