Taewang, meaning "The Greatest of all Kings", was the title used by the rulers of Goguryeo, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, since the reign of Gwanggaeto the Great.[1][2]
Although it does not signify emperor itself, Taewang title had equal authority with Chinese Emperor.[3]. Also some Silla rulers including Beopheung and Jinheung used this title for their declaration of independence from the influence of Goguryeo.[4]
