Yi An-sa (1204 – 3 March 1274) was a Goryeo nobleman who would become the great-great-grandfather of Yi Seonggye, founder of the Joseon Dynasty.[citation needed]

On 28 July 1392, when Taejo made a new dynasty, he was granted the royal title King Mok (목왕; 穆王).[1] After his death in 1274, he was buried in Deokneung, Neung-ri, Gapyeong-myeon, Sinhung-gun, South Hamgyong Province, North Korea and given the temple name Mokjo (목조; 穆祖) by his great-great-great-grandson, King Taejong on 22 April 1411 along with his posthumous name.[2]
