This paper is about the cause, background, and characteristic of the conflict over succession co the chrone in che the latter Period of Silla Dynasty. King Heongdeok, King Huigang, King Minae, and King Sinmu`s ascending co the throne are all relevant to the topic, and this paper focuses on the process of King Huigang. To find out the background of the conflicts, the present writer confirmed examples in the succession to the throne in overall Silla Dynasty. As a result, it was found out that the Kukin(國人) bad somebody as a king whenever the king had a problem having a son to carry on the crown. Therefore, it was deducted chat the conflict over succession co the throne after King Heongdeok resulted from the face that the Kukin(國人) couldn`t have somebody as a king. Also, it wasn`t easy because the Kukin(國人) was absorbed by each faction of the royal family. Moreover, it was found out that the Kukin(國人) and the royalty had the relative relationship. Many researchers have argued that this conflict affected the fall of the Silla Dynasty. However, the present writer tried to regard it as a temporary phenomenon and the succession to the throne went on stably afterwards.
