Speaker 1: which is very exciting. We also have merch available at
Speaker 1: d F t b A dot com. All of that
Speaker 1: info is in the episode description. One summer day in
Speaker 1: seventeen sixty two, the Prince of Korea's father called the
Speaker 1: boy into his private rooms. The King Young Joe, had
Speaker 1: always hated his son, his only heir, since he had
Speaker 1: been a child. There was nothing specific about the prince,
Speaker 1: no one single trait that the king could point to
Speaker 1: in order to explain his distaste for the child that
Speaker 1: had lingered in his mouth for decades. Maybe it was
Speaker 1: the prince's seeming frailty, the way he had gravitated as
Speaker 1: a child towards art and drawing instead of athletics. Maybe
Speaker 1: it was the fainting spells and the strange mood that
Speaker 1: he had sometimes fell into. The King had wanted a strong, charismatic,
Speaker 1: dynamic air for the Jun dynasty. Instead he had this
Speaker 1: prince who had been a strange child, and then the
Speaker 1: strange child had turned into a monstrous adult because the
Speaker 1: prince was monstrous. Even though the prince's wife tried to
Speaker 1: conceal the extent of her beatings, the court knew that
Speaker 1: she missed public events because of the bruises on her face.
Speaker 1: Her ladies in waiting were brutalized and sexually assaulted. Servants
Speaker 1: had gone missing. No one dared to make public accusations,
Speaker 1: but everyone knew that they had been murdered by the prince.
Speaker 1: The Crown Prince of Korea, a man known most frequently
Speaker 1: by the name Prince Sado, whether it was due to
Speaker 1: mental illness or sadism or both, had turned his father's
Speaker 1: court into a place of terror. Putting him up for
Speaker 1: criminal trial would be a scandal, and because of Korean
Speaker 1: law at the time, it would mean that his own
Speaker 1: wife and child and would be forced to bear punishment
Speaker 1: as well. But still Sado needed to be dealt with.
Speaker 1: No one wanted him to become the next king of Korea,
Speaker 1: and so what could his father do if he couldn't
Speaker 1: technically forced the prince to stand trial for his many crimes?
Speaker 1: And it was illegal to desecrate the body of a
Speaker 1: member of the royal family, and so it's not like
Speaker 1: Sado could have been quickly and conveniently killed himself. So
Speaker 1: what could the king do to kill a prince who
Speaker 1: wasn't allowed to be executed. Walking into his father's chambers
Speaker 1: that day, Sado knew something was coming. In a moment
Speaker 1: of whimsy or panic. Earlier that day, he had asked
Speaker 1: his wife to bring him their son's cap for him
Speaker 1: to wear. His wife didn't want the prince anywhere near
Speaker 1: their son, didn't want their son involved in whatever was
Speaker 1: going to happen. She gave shaddo her own cap. The
Speaker 1: prince's wife, a woman named Lady Hia Yung, was there
Speaker 1: in the room to watch what happened. Next, the king
Speaker 1: called for a wooden chest, the type normally used to
Speaker 1: store rice. The chest was brought forth, a small box
Speaker 1: with only about four square feet of space inside. It
Speaker 1: was a sweltering day in early July, and the court
Speaker 1: watched the proceedings breathlessly, trying to fan themselves as quietly
Speaker 1: as they could. King Young Joe told his son to
Speaker 1: get inside the crate. With no choice but to obey
Speaker 1: his father, Prince Sado did as he was told. The
Speaker 1: lid was closed and locked shut. Not long after, the
Speaker 1: screams began. The story of Prince Sado of Korea is
Speaker 1: a tragic, gruesome one. It's the story of a young man,
Speaker 1: a mentally ill young man, who faced cruelty and responded
Speaker 1: with violence and sadism. But the story is also interesting
Speaker 1: for who tells it. We know the details of Prince
Speaker 1: Sado's life because his wife, Lady Ya, a woman who
Speaker 1: otherwise might have existed entirely on the periphery of history,
Speaker 1: wrote her memoirs later in life, several decades after the
Speaker 1: brutal death of her husband. In the eighteenth century, from
Speaker 1: Asia to Western Europe, autobiography was a realm that was
Speaker 1: almost exclusively dominated by men, and yet Lady Young spent
Speaker 1: ten years of her life writing about her life in
Speaker 1: four parts. It's a series that's been widely translated and
Speaker 1: which is considered one of the most important texts in
Speaker 1: Korean literature. Perhaps she knew even during her life that
Speaker 1: the story of her husband and his father would be exaggerated,
Speaker 1: that it would become legend, twisted for political purposes and
Speaker 1: ripe for conspiracy theories. Lady Hug Young was there, and
Speaker 1: she did us the favor of setting the record straight,
Speaker 1: or at least telling the story the way that she
Speaker 1: believed it should be remembered for posterity, with nuance and sympathy,
Speaker 1: but also with an unflinching eye to the violence and
Speaker 1: terror in court. I'm Danis Schwartz and this is Noble Blood.
Speaker 1: A warning before we begin. This story contains almost every
Speaker 1: sort of violence imaginable, so if you're listening with young
Speaker 1: children or you're sensitive to that sort of content, please
Speaker 1: proceed with caution. The name Sado translates to thinking of
Speaker 1: with great sorrow, and even though it's the name by
Speaker 1: which the prince is most commonly known today, it was
Speaker 1: actually given posthumously. The prince was born Prince Yon on
Speaker 1: February seventeen thirty five. For clarity's sake, I'll continue to
Speaker 1: refer to him as Sado. Prince Otto was his father's
Speaker 1: second son, the replacement for the former Crown Prince Hyogung,
Speaker 1: who died as a child seven years before Soto was born.
Speaker 1: The King Young Joe was heartbroken after his eldest son's death,
Speaker 1: and he immediately saw Sodo as a middling replacement for
Speaker 1: his golden boy. His golden boy, the dead son, the
Speaker 1: prince who would have been perfect if only he had lived.
Speaker 1: Soto was a sickly boy who became a sickly young
Speaker 1: man at ten years old. He suffered from an unidentified
Speaker 1: illness that was so severe that he sometimes would pass
Speaker 1: out in the middle of rooms. His father, the King,
Speaker 1: resented his frailty. Sado was also artistic. We have records
Speaker 1: of small doodles that he made, drawings of dogs and
Speaker 1: other animals. Whatever kind of son the King Young Joe
Speaker 1: wanted Sado, wasn't it. The relationship between father and son
Speaker 1: did not improve as the years went on. In fact,
Speaker 1: King Young Joe only increased in his bitterness and cruelty
Speaker 1: towards his only living son. There was nothing that Sato
Speaker 1: could do correctly, nothing he could do that didn't need
Speaker 1: to be picked apart endlessly with criticism. Some of the
Speaker 1: King's behavior seems unnaturally cruel. He would call his son
Speaker 1: into the throne rooms in the middle of the bustling court,
Speaker 1: in front of vassals, ladies in waiting unus, and guests,
Speaker 1: and beate the prince there where everyone could see. Where
Speaker 1: the king could he borrowed Satto from important court events
Speaker 1: and forbade him from visiting the ancestral tombs. Sado, perhaps understandably,
Speaker 1: became extremely anxious and visibly distressed whenever he was in
Speaker 1: the same room as his father. His only comfort was
Speaker 1: his older sister, Princess Huajio. Their father didn't seem to
Speaker 1: hate her as much as he hated Sato. The princess
Speaker 1: was mostly just ignored and overlooked, but at least she
Speaker 1: understood what came first with Sado, the mental illness or
Speaker 1: his father's hatred. Did the king only hate his son
Speaker 1: because he saw signs of insanity or cruelty bubbling below
Speaker 1: the surface, it's impossible to know. Regardless, Soto was the
Speaker 1: king's only son and only heir, and so Sado could
Speaker 1: hinued along on the path that was expected for a
Speaker 1: young prince, which meant that when he was nine years old,
Speaker 1: he was married. We know the story of his arranged
Speaker 1: marriage from the memoirs of the woman who would become
Speaker 1: his wife, Lady Hiayung. She was nine years old too,
Speaker 1: one of the hundreds of girls who were brought before
Speaker 1: court officials to be examined to see if they would
Speaker 1: make a good wife for the prince. Initially, Lady Hia
Speaker 1: Young wasn't optimistic about her chances. Her family was noble
Speaker 1: and well connected politically, but not especially wealthy or important. Still,
Speaker 1: she was brought to the palace one of the finalists, apparently,
Speaker 1: and she was brought before the king the selection was made.
Speaker 1: Lady Hia Young and Prince Otto, both pre preteen, were
Speaker 1: officially married, even though the marriage wouldn't be consummated until
Speaker 1: years later. It was around the time that they did consummate,
Speaker 1: round fourteen or fifteen years old, that Soto was given
Speaker 1: a more formal royal position. He was made a regent
Speaker 1: of the kingdom. In theory, it was more responsibility, an
Speaker 1: opportunity for him to learn how to rule and prepare
Speaker 1: for him to one day be king. In effect, it
Speaker 1: was just more opportunity for his father to mock and
Speaker 1: belittle and undermine him. But for the time being, at
Speaker 1: least it seemed like Sodo was able to bear it.
Speaker 1: He liked his wife and he could confide in his
Speaker 1: older sister. He was anxious and panicked around their father,
Speaker 1: but it was nothing he couldn't handle, at least until
Speaker 1: tragedy struck. In seventeen fifty two, there was a measles
Speaker 1: outbreak in Korea, and those Sado managed to evade the virus,
Speaker 1: his beloved sister died. It was the moosest relationship he
Speaker 1: ever had. She was only nineteen years old. Sado wrote
Speaker 1: a eulogy for her, quote, My elder sister was virtuous
Speaker 1: and chaste. She was born into the royal family and
Speaker 1: had grown up with me in the palace. She lived
Speaker 1: to see twenty springs till one frosty snow took her
Speaker 1: to join the immortals. Who would have expected this? Now,
Speaker 1: I have rarely seen the wild geese flying across the sky.
Speaker 1: I could not believe that what had started as a
Speaker 1: minor illness would end up incurable. Mother, and I had
Speaker 1: been anxious over your deteriorating health day and night. You
Speaker 1: were sincere and filial till the end of your journey.
Speaker 1: Upon hearing that His Majesty was about to visit you, you
Speaker 1: you rose from your sick bed, but your words drifted
Speaker 1: like flowing water and faded away with time. My grief
Speaker 1: is merely expressed through these humble offerings. Your virtue will
Speaker 1: be remembered as lingering fragrance. The next year, another massive
Speaker 1: life event would hit Sado. In addition to his wife,
Speaker 1: he took a royal consort, a woman named Young Ben,
Speaker 1: and in seventy three she became pregnant. Sado was terrified
Speaker 1: that she would have a boy, knowing that a son
Speaker 1: would incite his father's rage. Though the king had continued
Speaker 1: to have daughters, the king had only been able to
Speaker 1: have one son Sado. In his panic, Sado tried to
Speaker 1: force his consort into taking a board of faisons while
Speaker 1: she was pregnant in order to allay his father's jealousy. Still,
Speaker 1: despite the attempts. The child was born healthy and it
Speaker 1: was a son. Sado refused to deal with his mistress
Speaker 1: or his child at all, and so it was his wife,
Speaker 1: Lady Young Young, who provided or the woman and helped
Speaker 1: her find a safe place to give birth and a
Speaker 1: safe place to stay with the newborn. From that point on,
Speaker 1: Sado's mental wellness began to fully deteriorate. His anxiety began
Speaker 1: to bleed into paranoia and hallucinations and phobias. One evening,
Speaker 1: while reading a Taoist book about the thunder Daddy, he
Speaker 1: had a full hallucination seeing the thunder God in front
Speaker 1: of him. In his vision, that God told him what
Speaker 1: he would need to do in order to avoid disaster.
Speaker 1: Sato became terrified of thunder, and he refused to touch
Speaker 1: any object that was engraved with the character for thunder
Speaker 1: from the book. He also developed a complicated compulsion around
Speaker 1: dressing and a fear of clothing called vesta phobia. It
Speaker 1: would take him hours to get dressed, and he would
Speaker 1: rip off items of clothing and reject outfits in a frenzy,
Speaker 1: sometimes even lighting offending items of clothing on fire. His wife,
Speaker 1: he had Young, wrote quote for him to get dressed.
Speaker 1: I had to have ten, twenty, or even thirty sets
Speaker 1: of clothes laid out. He would then burn, some supposedly
Speaker 1: on behalf of some ghost or other. Even after this,
Speaker 1: if he managed to get into a suit of clothes
Speaker 1: without incident, one had to count it as a great
Speaker 1: good luck. If, however, those serving him were to make
Speaker 1: the slightest error, he would not be able to put
Speaker 1: his clothes on, no matter how hard he tried. In
Speaker 1: the process, people were hurt, even killed. It was truly
Speaker 1: dreadful end quote. The prince was violent. People got hurt
Speaker 1: in the fires that he set, and sometimes he killed
Speaker 1: people outright. It seems that a major factor that provoked
Speaker 1: the prince's violence was fear of his father. There After
Speaker 1: his father berated or mocked him, Prince Sado would go
Speaker 1: into something that some described as a manic state and
Speaker 1: turned that anger and humiliation onto someone else, someone beneath
Speaker 1: him in status or power, sometimes even going so far
Speaker 1: as to kill them. Once so distraught after an interaction
Speaker 1: with his father, the prince fled down a hallway and
Speaker 1: began to give chase to a random official that he
Speaker 1: in turn wanted to break. As the prince ran, he
Speaker 1: knocked over a candlestick and burned down the entire building
Speaker 1: and the one next to it. Sado could be downright
Speaker 1: horrific in his violence. There's one story where he killed
Speaker 1: a eunuch that displeased him for some reason or another,
Speaker 1: and he beheaded him, and then the prince brought the severed,
Speaker 1: bloody head into his wife's chambers to shock her and
Speaker 1: her ladies in waiting. When Sado didn't kill the eunuchs outright,
Speaker 1: he would beat them. Taking out his rage and grief
Speaker 1: and frustration. He began to violently sexually assault palace staff
Speaker 1: as well, and beat his wife to the point where
Speaker 1: she was missing formal events because of the bruises. On
Speaker 1: one occasion, in a violent rage or manic state, he
Speaker 1: threw a go board at his wife's face, and the
Speaker 1: injury was so bad that she didn't attend a royal
Speaker 1: ceremony for the king moving palaces. Lady Hia Young had
Speaker 1: been with her husband since they were nine years old.
Speaker 1: Even if she couldn't love him, she still had tenderness
Speaker 1: for him and knew that someone needed to intervene when
Speaker 1: it came to his behavior. Lady hiug Young tried to
Speaker 1: report Sadow's behavior to his mother, the royal noble consort Young,
Speaker 1: but the consort begged Lady Hug Young to keep it quiet.
Speaker 1: The consort knew how terrible her son's behavior was, yes,
Speaker 1: but she didn't want it to turn into malicious palace gossip.
Speaker 1: He was the prince and heir to the throne, after all,
Speaker 1: what would become of them, of all of them if
Speaker 1: people knew that he was unfit to rule. In seventeen
Speaker 1: fifty seven, Prince Sado took another second royal consort, a
Speaker 1: woman named Pingey. He claimed that they were in love,
Speaker 1: but there was a problem. Pingey had been a lady
Speaker 1: in waiting to his grandmother, which was culturally taboo considered incest.
Speaker 1: The king was incensed, and depending on the story, the
Speaker 1: king either tried to force his son to jump down
Speaker 1: a well or he berated Sado so incessantly that Sado
Speaker 1: himself chose to jump down a well as a suicide attempt,
Speaker 1: only to be rescued by guards. Lady Hugyung knew that
Speaker 1: disaster was imminent, and she tried to protect Pingey from
Speaker 1: the outrage of the court and of Sado by bringing
Speaker 1: her to a hidden spot in the home of one
Speaker 1: of Sado's says stairs, but her restpite was only temporary.
Speaker 1: A few years later, in a fit of random rage,
Speaker 1: Sado would assault his mistress Pingay and leave her alone
Speaker 1: on the floor, helpless and bleeding until she died. We
Speaker 1: don't know how long Pingaey laid on the floor alone.
Speaker 1: It was Lady Hya Young who prepared Pingay's body for
Speaker 1: the funeral. Rites When the lady returned from the burial,
Speaker 1: Sado never mentioned Pingay or her death. She was never
Speaker 1: spoken of again by Sado, completely forgotten. Two more horrible
Speaker 1: events occurred that finally sealed the King's decision to do
Speaker 1: away with Prince Sado altogether. At Sado's twenty fifth birthday party,
Speaker 1: he began screaming at his family, at his mother, his father,
Speaker 1: his sister, and his children. By this point he had
Speaker 1: a son and two daughters by his wife. Sado demanded
Speaker 1: that his younger sister, there father's favorite, use her influence
Speaker 1: to force their father to let him visit the springs
Speaker 1: at Onyon. If you don't, Sado said, glaring at his sister,
Speaker 1: I will kill you in front of our mother and
Speaker 1: my wife. Fortunately, in this one case, he was soothed
Speaker 1: and didn't resort to violence. Two years later, Sado made
Speaker 1: another death threat. An official angered him for some reason
Speaker 1: or another, and Sado claimed that he was going to
Speaker 1: kill his son, and so, in an effort to either
Speaker 1: follow through or to appear as though he was following through,
Speaker 1: Sado snuck into the upper chambers of the palace through
Speaker 1: a water passage where the official's son lived. Fortunately, the
Speaker 1: son didn't happen to be there at the time, and
Speaker 1: so Sado just stole some of the boy's clothing and
Speaker 1: personal effects as a way to send a message. But
Speaker 1: here was the real problem. The King Young Joe also
Speaker 1: lived on the upper floors of the palace, and his
Speaker 1: rumors of Sado's trip upstairs began to circulate. The story
Speaker 1: became that Sado had actually gone up there to try
Speaker 1: to kill King Young Joe. Enough was enough. It seemed
Speaker 1: Young Joe could tolerate erratic behavior, violent assaults, and multiple murders,
Speaker 1: but he would not tolerate even the rumor of a
Speaker 1: threat against his own life. But there were a few
Speaker 1: complications when it came to Young Joe's decision to do
Speaker 1: away with his son. Prince Sado could not be tried
Speaker 1: in court because there was a practice of communal punishment
Speaker 1: at the time, which would have meant that his wife,
Speaker 1: Lady Hyagyung, and more importantly, their children would be punished
Speaker 1: as well. At this point, the couple had three surviving children,
Speaker 1: one son and two daughters. Sado was still the king's
Speaker 1: only heir, and Sado's son was directly in line for
Speaker 1: the throne. And even more complicated, there was a rule
Speaker 1: at court that dictated that the body of a royal
Speaker 1: person could not be defiled. So where did that leave
Speaker 1: the king when it came to ways of getting rid
Speaker 1: of his son. On a hot day July four, seventeen
Speaker 1: sixty two, King Young Joe told his son to come
Speaker 1: into his rooms. While members of the court stood silently
Speaker 1: waiting to see what would happen next, the king ordered
Speaker 1: his servants to bring out a rice chest. It was
Speaker 1: a wooden rice chest just over two ft long, empty,
Speaker 1: the lid was taken off. King Young Joe told his son,
Speaker 1: Prince Sotto, to get into the box. Maybe the prince
Speaker 1: thought of disobeying, Perhaps for a fleeting moment he thought
Speaker 1: of running, of fighting, But in the end, Prince Sotto
Speaker 1: obeyed his father and low word himself into the small
Speaker 1: wooden crate, tucking his legs beneath him. The king nodded
Speaker 1: to his servants, who closed the lid and locked it shut.
Speaker 1: The court listened to the scratching, to the screaming, to
Speaker 1: the pleads from the prince, already sweltering inside his small
Speaker 1: wooden prison. The prince's wife, Lady Hiagyang, stood there watching
Speaker 1: with horror. She had already written a letter to the
Speaker 1: king begging for clemency for her and for her son.
Speaker 1: With another nod, the King had the box tied with
Speaker 1: rope and covered in grass and moved to the upper palace.
Speaker 1: Lady Hiagyang's brother came that day and took his sister
Speaker 1: and her children back to their parents house for safety
Speaker 1: in a palanquin. From the rice box. The shouts and
Speaker 1: cries continued for another seven days. On the eighth day,
Speaker 1: the prince was finally silent. No one had touched the prince,
Speaker 1: not technically, and so the royal body had not been defiled.
Speaker 1: On July twelfth, seventeen sixty two, they removed the lid
Speaker 1: and saw that Prince Sado was dead. He was twenty
Speaker 1: seven years old, The prince was buried on Mount Baibung
Speaker 1: Sang in yang Ju, and when the burial procession returned,
Speaker 1: the king forbade anyone in court from ever mentioning his
Speaker 1: son for the rest of his reign, at least in
Speaker 1: order to continue the line of succession without technically including Sado.
Speaker 1: King Young Joe had Sado's son posthumously adopted by Sado's
Speaker 1: older brother, the deceased Prince, who had died long before
Speaker 1: Sado was even born, and though there were some challenges
Speaker 1: from the court and the country about the legitimacy of
Speaker 1: the boy, when the king died in seventeen seventy six,
Speaker 1: Sado's son Jong Joe became the next king. As soon
Speaker 1: as he was crowned, Jong Joe undid the messy fake
Speaker 1: adoption nonsense of his grandfather. He proudly declared that he
Speaker 1: was the son of Prince Sado, whom he posthumously renamed
Speaker 1: King Shein Moon Huan MoU jong hun Gwanga the Great.
Speaker 1: The new king also moved his father's body to a
Speaker 1: royal tomb some miles outside of Seoul, and when his mother,
Speaker 1: Lady Young Young, died four decades later, she was buried
Speaker 1: next to her husband. That's the story of the short
Speaker 1: and incredibly tragic life of Prince Sado of Korea. But
Speaker 1: keep listening after a brief sponsor break to hear a
Speaker 1: little bit more about theories surrounding his death. Our primary
Speaker 1: source for a detailed account of Prince Sado's madness and
Speaker 1: his eventual execution murder are from the memoirs of his wife,
Speaker 1: Lady hiang Yung, who wrote her reflections several decades after
Speaker 1: her husband's death. Some historians and political theorists point out
Speaker 1: the possibility that her account might have been politically motivated,
Speaker 1: not that the actual events that she described didn't happen,
Speaker 1: but that the way that she framed them was meant
Speaker 1: to protect and defend her family. Some point out that
Speaker 1: by emphasizing Sato's brutality and insanity, Lady Hiagyung is tacitly
Speaker 1: giving us a defense of her own inaction of having,
Speaker 1: in theory, stood by while her husband was killed. Some
Speaker 1: even go so far as to argue that Sado's death
Speaker 1: was entirely politically motivated, that Lady Hyayung exaggerated the Prince's
Speaker 1: insanity in her memoirs in order to in part cover
Speaker 1: up what had been a political conspiracy to kill him.
Speaker 1: The idea is that the prince was an outspoken opponent
Speaker 1: of the Norn political party, which his wife's family just
Speaker 1: happened to be. Prominent members of the Norn Party had
Speaker 1: been essential in helping King Young John establish his claim
Speaker 1: to the throne, and so some argue that they called
Speaker 1: in a political debt in order to get the king
Speaker 1: to eliminate his troublesome son. I think it goes without
Speaker 1: saying that to some degree, of course, anyone writing their
Speaker 1: own memoir is going to frame the events in a
Speaker 1: way that focuses on their own experiences and defends their
Speaker 1: own actions and thinking. But I also think the strangeness
Speaker 1: and cruelty of Prince Sado's death sometimes gives modern audiences
Speaker 1: more sympathy for him than they otherwise might have. The
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is cruel and unusual, as his
Speaker 1: death was. Prince Otto did murder people. We have multiple
Speaker 1: historical records of the servants who were killed in the
Speaker 1: princess fits of passion. Even still, in Soto and his
Speaker 1: wife were posthumously elevated to the status of Emperor and Empress.
Speaker 1: They were given fancy new tombs for people to visit,
Speaker 1: the type of tombs that people might visit and stand
Speaker 1: at for a while and wonder what type of person
Speaker 1: could be buried there. Noble Blood is a production of
