林惟茂Military Official

?~1270

Im Yu-mu (1248–1270) was a military official of late Goryeo and the last ruler of the country's military regime, which had held power for about a century. His removal in 1270 brought that regime to an end, and the Goryeo court returned its capital to Gaegyeong. Goryeo then surrendered to the Mongols and came under the rule of the Yuan dynasty.
