Goryeo Korea submits to Yuan marriage alliance
1319
King Chungsuk of Goryeo married a Mongol princess, cementing Korea's status as a client kingdom of the Yuan dynasty. Korean nobles adopted Mongol dress and falconry; Mongol garrisons dotted the peninsula. Yet Korean potters still fired celadon, and Korean scholars still read Confucius in their own script of borrowed characters.
