Yi Jun Tomb

Yi Jun (李準, 1545–1624) belonged to the Jeonju Yi clan and was a descendant of Yi Hu-saeng, Prince Deokcheon, a son of King Jeong Jong. His pen names were Noejinja and Seopa. When Jeong Yeo-rip's rebellion broke out in 1589, he distinguished himself as Dosungji, chief royal secretary, in bringing the conspirators to justice, and was enfeoffed as a Second Class Merit Subject for Pacifying Difficulties and as Prince Jeonseong. The burial ground also contains the graves of his father, Yi Yu-jeong, and his son, Yi Jeong-ik, with Yi Jun's own grave set among them. He is buried together with his second wife, Lady Gyeong of the Cheongju Gyeong clan, in a pair of adjoining round mounds, each encircled by a retaining stone kerb. In front of the mounds stand a grave marker, a stone offering table and an incense-burner stone, flanked on either side by child-attendant stone figures, civil-official stone figures and ornamental stone pillars. The grave marker is of the wonsu-bangbu type — a stele with a rounded cap stone and a square base — but it was badly damaged by gunfire, so a new marker has been erected beside the mound. The child-attendant and civil-official stone figures are finely carved. The grave of his first wife, Lady Song of the Yeosan Song clan, lies on the slope below his own.
