King Gaeru of Baekje
King Gaeru (? ~ 166, r. 128 ~ 166) was the fourth king of Baekje. He is most well-known for founding Bukhan Mountain Castle in Goyang, Gyeonggi in 132. Baekje fought off many Goguryeo invasions with this fortress many times later and King Chogo based his northward campaign on it.
Baekje-Silla relationship was peaceful for most of his period of reign. In 165, Gilseon (길선/吉宣), a ministor of Silla, failed his coup d'etat attempt and fled to Baekje. King Gaeru gave him refuge and two countries became hostile.
