Gimyangbo Hoseong Meritorious Subject Rok

This is a royal edict issued in 1604, the 37th year of King Seonjo, promoting Gim Yang-bo, who held the rank of gauidaebu, by one grade to jaheondaebu and rewarding him as a third-class Hoseong Meritorious Subject, an honour granted to those who had escorted the king in his flight. At the time there were two first-class, thirty-one second-class and fifty-three third-class meritorious subjects, and Gim Yang-bo is listed twenty-third among the fifty-three third-class subjects. The document is valued as important historical material for examining the rewards given to the officials who escorted King Seonjo as far as Uiju, as well as the changing composition of meritorious subjects after the Japanese invasions of Korea.
