Introduction

Following is the citation from

This is the royal documents of bestowal(賜牌, sap'ae) that is given to The Great Prince Bongnim(鳳林, 1619-1659). He was the second son of King Injo(仁祖, Inho). "This document records the special bequeathal of King Injo's slaves to his second son Great Prince Bongnim(鳳林, 1619-1659) on the 10th day of the 8th month, 1632. Ho is his given name. He was entitled as Great Prince by the king in 1626. Later, he became King Hyojong(孝宗, Hyojong). His older brother Crown Prince Sohyeon was first designated as heir apparent but suffered premature death.

Sap'ae is an royal certificate that bestowed slaves to the designated official or the royal relative. This document is one from the series of five such documents that were given to the prince. Three were issued on the twenty eighth day of the second month, 1631, and two, including the current document, on the tendth day of the eighth month, 1632. The list of slaves in this documents contains a total of fifty slaves that are distributed throughout the country. Also, they are being transferred from diverse governmental offices, both central and local. The local government listed include places such as Kimhae, Samch'ŏk, Hoeyang, Kangnŭng, Chŭngsan, Samdŭng and others. Many different central administrative offices also provided slaves including Bureau of Hospitality's(禮賓寺), Bureau of Royal Nourishment's(內資寺), Treasury(司贍寺) and others.

This document also list the names of slaves which provides a glimpse into the perception of slaves by the Choson royal family and elites. The names portrays slaves as if they are animals and plants of particular characteristics or tools for the daily life. For example, one slave is named Parigae(件里介). The first character of this name seems to be read following the sound of the Korean word that the Chinese characters represent. This names refers to a made-up fense used in threshing. In another example, we found a slave named Kaei(介伊) which means gnarls of trees.

will be specially bestowed as an award to you. It shall be possible to inherit them permanently.

10th day, 8th month of the fifth year of the Emperor Chongzhen(崇禎, Sizong).

Discussion Questions

  1. Why were the bestowed slaves spread all around country? Given that the royal prince resides mostly in the capital, he cannot receive direct services from these slaves. Was he simply getting tributes from these slaves for his daily expenditure? If so, who conducts the collection of the tribute?
  2. What was the nature of this transfer? Is it a transfer of public slaves to the private holdings of the prince himself? Perhaps, it is likely because he was called by his personal name Ho in the document. Or is it given to the government office or agency that takes care of the affairs of the royal prince?
  3. What happens to these slaves once the prince himself becomes a king? Are they given back to the government? Or does he maintain his own private holding of slaves although he will be nominally the master of the whole country?
