According to theSamguk sagi and other historical accounts such as theSamguk yusa, the kingdom of Eastern Buyeo originated from Northern Buyeo, and relocated to the land near toOkjeo.
The founder, Hae Buru, is said to be the son ofHae Mo-su, the founder of Northern Buyeo, andLady Yuhwa, the daughter of the river godHabaek. It is said that Buru left Buyeo to create his own kingdom, where he later incorporated his home kingdom's name into his new one.
According to legend, Buru discovered a golden frog-like child under a large rock and named the childGeumwa, meaning "golden frog". Geumwa was later made the crown prince of Easter Buyeo.[1] According to theSamguk sagi, King Geumwa finds Lady Yuhwa (not considered as Buru's mother in this story) and takes her into his kingdom where she is touched by sunlight and gives birth to an egg. The egg hatches into a boy who later becomesDongmyeong, the founder ofGoguryeo. Geumwa becomes his adoptive father and allows Dongmyeong to grow up beside his own son and heir,Daeso (and possiblyGalsa).
Geumwa became king after Hae Buru's death. Not long after, King Geumwa reversed his father's submission to Bukbuyeo and declared himself "Supreme king" and gave the title posthumously to his father, Hae Buru. At the Ubal river, near southern of Taebaek Mountain, Geumwa metLady Yuhwa, who was the disowned daughterHabaek, the god of theAmnok River or, according to an alternative interpretation, the sun godHaebak.[2][3][4][5] and brought her back to his palace. She was impregnated by sunlight and laid an egg, from which hatchedJumong.[2]
Geumwa's two sons resented Jumong, and although Geumwa tried to protect him, Jumong ran away toJolbon Buyeo, where he later establishedGoguryeo.
Geumwa's eldest sonDaeso became the next King. King Daeso attackedGoguryeo during the reign of its second ruler,King Yuri. Goguryeo's third rulerKing Daemusin attacked Dongbuyeo and killed King Daeso. After internal strife, Dongbuyeo fell, and its territory was absorbed into Goguryeo.
According to other records, Jumong was from Bukbuyeo, not Dongbuyeo. According to theGwanggaeto stele, Dongbuyeo was a tributary of Goguryeo. Dongbuyeo was briefly revived by a small state established around 285 by refugees of Buyeo. This state was conquered by KingGwanggaeto the Great of Goguryeo in 410.
Although the chronology is inconsistent with theSamguk Sagi, one legend saysWutae, the father of theBaekje's founder and 1st ruler,Onjo, was a son of Hae Buru.
