Background
[edit]Sang-nu, like his father, was from the Biryu-Bu of Goguryeo. His last name and ancestry are also unknown, but it is known that he and his father possessed a considerable amount of power over the nobles. Sang-Noo was the first Prime Minister to have inherited the position of prime minister from his father.
Life
[edit]Very little is mentioned on this figure. This lack of mention in historical records may signify that prime minister Sang-nu was an excellent government official, or an incompetent one. This cannot be known. Sang-nu died in the year 294, during the 3rd year of the reign of King Bongsang and was succeeded by Ch'ang Chori.
