According to the Samguk sagi, he excelled at civil affairs.[citation needed] Heongang was the eldest son of King Gyeongmun; his mother was Queen Munui.[citation needed] He had no legitimate heir, but did leave a son (later King Hyogong) by Lady Uimyeong.
In 879, Heongang was faced with the rebellion of a high official, his Ilgilchan Sin Hong.[citation needed] He is best remembered for the legends associated with him in the Samguk yusa, which claimed that a dancing dragon appeared before him and rewarded the king when he built a temple to pay homage to the dragon god.[2][3] In 886, he sought to defuse domestic discontent with a decree of general forgiveness.[citation needed]
Heongang was buried to the northeast of Borisa temple in Gyeongju.[citation needed]
