King Gye (died 346, r. 344–346) was the twelfth king of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.
Background
He was the eldest son of the 10th king Bunseo, who was assassinated in 304.Park, Hyun Sook, «백제의중앙과지방»(Central area and regions of Baekje), p. 71, Juryuseong, 2005, {{ISBN|8987096513}} The Samguk sagi records that "he was naturally hard and brace, and skilled with horse and bow. When Bunseo died, Gye was too young to succeed him, so Biryu (younger brother of the 7th king Saban) succeeded him, dying in the 41st year of his own reign. Then Gye succeeded him".Samguk sagi, Scroll 23{{cite web|url=https://www.doopedia.co.kr/doopedia/master/master.do?_method=view&MAS_IDX=101013000715420|script-title=ko:계왕|publisher=Doopedia|accessdate=23 September 2020|language=ko}}
Reign
