- 慶州 僖康慷王陵 ???
이 능은 신라 제43대 희강왕(836~838 재위)이 묻힌 곳으로 알려져 있다. 원성왕(元聖王)의 증손자로 흥덕왕(興德王)이 후사 없이 세상을 뜨자 상대등 김균정(金均貞)과 왕위 다툼을 거쳐 즉위하였다. 재위 3년에 상대등 김명(金明)과 시중 이홍(利弘)이 난을 일으키자 왕위를 지키지 못할 것을 알고 스스로 목숨을 끊었다. 소산(蘇山)에 장사 지냈다고 한다. 신라의 서남쪽 내남면 망성리 산자락에 있다. 소산이 어디인지 알려져 있지 않고 무덤도 규모나 구조가 왕릉으로 보기에는 부족하다는 견해도 있다. 서쪽으로 가까운 거리에 경주 전 민애왕릉(慶州 傳 閔哀王陵)이 있다.
영문
This is known to be the tomb of King Huigang (r. 836-838), the 43rd ruler of the Silla dynasty (57 BCE–935 CE).
King Huigang was the great-grandson of King Wonseong (r. 785–798). After King Heungdeok (r. 826–836) died without an heir, he competed with his relative Kim Gyun-jeong (?–836) for the throne and was successful. Three years into his reign, his relative and prime minister Kim Myeong (817-839) along with chief minister Yi Hong (?-839) led a rebellion. Knowing he could not keep the throne, he killed himself, and Kim Myeong took the throne as King Minae (r. 838–839).
It is said King Huigang was buried at Sosan Mountain, however, it is unknown where that mountain is today. Some argue that this tomb does not have the appropriate size and shape to be that of a royal tomb. Nearby to the west is a tomb which was formerly believed to be the tomb of King Minae.
