Biography
In 1266, Ki Cha-o was born into the Haengju Ki clan. He was the great-grandson of Ki Yun-suk, who had been the Vice-Director of the Chancellery (문하시랑평장사; 門下侍郎平章事; munhasirang p'yŏngjangsa). He married Lady Yi, the daughter of Yi Haeng-gŏm (이행검; 李幸儉). Via the protected appointments system, he was given his first government office as an executive captain (산원; 散員; sanwŏn). He would later be promoted to Standby Gentleman of the Ministry of War (총부산랑; 摠部散郎; ch'ongbu sanrang). Ki died in 1328. His daughter would be sent to the Yuan after his death, and in 1340, she became the second empress of Toghon Temür.[2]
