As a measure of retaining a measure of sovereignty for the Korean crown, King Chungnyeol, as Crown Prince Sim, proposed marrying a daughter of Kublai Khan both as a pledge of loyalty to the Mongol Empire and to boost the king's prestige before the Mongol generals and officials who occupied the country. This offer was accepted and for more than 80 years, Korean kings married members of Mongol royalty. Heirs to the throne were given Mongol names and were sent as hostages to Karakorum where they were raised in Mongolian fashion until they reached adulthood.
