Background
editHe was the eldest son of King Ilseong, his mother being of the Bak clan.[1] He married the daughter of King Jima, making this a marriage of 8th degree consanguinity. He was the last of the Bak clan to rule over early Silla. Descendants of Bak Hyeokgeose would rule again near the end of Unified Silla.
Reign
editJudging from the reports in the Samguk Sagi, Adalla's reign was a time of considerable expansion. However, some scholars doubt the chronology because Silla was still a small state.
He is said to have opened the road over Haneuljae (in present-day Mungyeong) in 157, and also the pass of Jungnyeong (in present-day Yeongju) in 159, extending Silla north of the Sobaek mountains. Tensions increased with the rival Korean kingdom Baekje for harboring a Silla traitor. The Samguk Sagi reports 20,000 soldiers and 8,000 cavalry of Silla battled Baekje in 167. During his reign, Adalla maintained peaceful relations with the Wa of Japan, who sent an envoy in 158. Himiko sent another envoy in 173.
In AD 157, According to Samguk yusa, This is the time when the legends of Yeono and Seo(
Adala's last decade of history question
editAccording to Samguk Sagi, It has no record for 10 years between 174 and 184 years.
Major questions arise during this period.
Considering the fact that Park will not succeed to the throne, but Seok, the Beolhyu Isageum, will succeed to the throne afterwards. It can be estimated that there was considerable confusion within Silla at that time. In particular, the mother of Naehae Isageum, is written as Lady Naerye(內禮

Legacy
editThere is no record of his activities during the last decade of his reign. He died without a male heir, and was succeeded by the Seok clan.
Adalla's tomb is believed to lie next to those of two later kings of Bak Hyeokgeose's line, in the Samneung complex near Namsan in central Gyeongju.[1]
