Sejong

(born 1397—died 1450) Monarch of the Choson dynasty in Korea during whose reign (1419–50) Korean cultural achievements reached a high point. Sejong oversaw the creation of hangul, the Korean alphabet (see Korean language), and banned Buddhist monks from Seoul, thereby reducing the power and wealth of the Buddhist hierarchy.
