Birth Uncertainty
editKang Hŭian and his younger brother Kang Hŭimaeng were the sons of Kang Sŏktŏk (1395–1459) and cousins of king Munjong (1414–1450–1452), King Sejo (1417 –1455–1468) and Grand Prince Anpyeong 이용 안평대군 (1418–1453), that were the first three sons of king Sejong.
Nevertheless, the year of birth of Kang Hŭian is unclear. Part of the references say 1417,[1][2][3][4][5] part of them say 1419[6][7][8]... None of these sources ever mention this discrepancy. Britannica[4] specifies the more precise 1417(태종 17)~1464(세조 10).
