Dae Inseon

大諲譔King

?~?

Dae In-seon (大諲譔) was the last and fifteenth king of Balhae, and it was during his reign that the kingdom came to an end. In 926 he faced an assault led by Yelü Abaoji of the Khitan Liao dynasty; his capital fell, and he was captured and taken to Liao. Because Balhae collapsed under his rule he was given no posthumous name, and nothing is known of what became of him after he was carried off to Liao.
