| | | | | Rulers of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Jangsu of Goguryeo - Death and Legacy Emperor Jangsu died in 491, at the age of 97. His nickname 'Jangsu' derived from Chinese word meaning 'living long', since he lived for a abnormally long time. During his reign, Goguryeo was at its golden age, stretching from Mongolia to Chungju. His rule marked the greatest moment in Korean History; the age when Korea was dominance power on East Asia.

Although Gwanggaeto ruled for only 22 years and died fairly young, his conquests are said to mark the high tide of Korean history. Except for the period under his son and successor, King Jangsu, and the later Kingdom of Balhae, Korea never before or since ruled such a vast territory.
