Galsabuyeo or Galsaguk was an ancient Korean kingdom founded by Galsa of Dongbuyeo.

History[]

Galsa feared that Dongbuyeo would fall in ruins after the 22AD assassination of his older brother Daeso, king of Dongbuyeo.[1] He moved south to Galsa river with 100 followers. Amnok valley was the territory of an existing kingdom called Haeduguk (海頭國) where its king frequently went hunting. Galsa killed this king and set the capital in that very river. The country was originally in good ties with Goguryeo. The country was fairly independent until 68 AD[2][3],when king Dodu (都頭) surrendered to Goguryeo and received the respectable bureaucratic position of U-dae (優台)[1],which seems to be the head of his kinship.[4]The country had three kings, and the name of the second king is unknown.[5]
