Namhae is the only king who is called Chachaung. According to the Samguk Sagi, Kim Dae-Mun explained that the title "Chachaung" meant a shaman in Old Korean.
He was the eldest son of Park Hyeokgeose, Silla's founder, and Lady Aryeong. His surname was Park, and his wife was Lady Unje (운제; 雲帝). Alternatively, the Suseo (隋書), a Chinese history book compiled during the reign of Taizong of Tang, suggests that Namhae actually originated from Baekje.[1] Historians theorize that Namhae was a Baekje priest who either was expelled from Baekje and settled in Silla. The Samguk Yusa records that Namhae violently usurped King Hyeokgeose by killing him, thus becoming the second king of Silla.[2]
His reign was characterized by a series of foreign invasions. In 4, the Lelang army surrounded Geumseong, the Sillan capital, but was repelled.[3]
In 8, when the Namhae of Silla heard that Talhae was benevolent, he married his eldest daughter to him.[4]
The Wa of Japan invaded Silla in 14, and while Silla stopped them, Lelang invaded again. A comet shower was said to have scared the Lelang soldiers, however, and they retreated. [note 1][5]
The Bukmyeong(北溟) people plowed the fields and got Royal Seal of Ye (예왕지인; 濊王之印), previously used by Buyeo's kings, and dedicated it to Silla in 19. It is not clear where Bukmyeong means.[6][7]
He was buried in Sareung-won.
