House Bae of Yonseo

House Bae of Yonseo is a Kyo noble family in Dankuk. It was founded during the Baekgu Dynasty by legendary engineer, artist, scientist and inventor Bae Yeong-ho. While Bae Yeong-ho was born into the lower classes, his skills were recognized by King Baekgu the Great, who commissioned him to undertake a vast number of experiments. As a reward for a long career in the public service, King Baekgu awarded Bae Yeong-ho a large fief around the area known today as Yonseo, Dankuk. The core descendants of the family still maintains a large portion of land in this region.
