Later Balhae started out as an attempt by the remaining former Balhae Aristocracy to seat a new king onto the Balhae throne and revive the nation. The conquered people of Balhae immediately began rebelling against the Khitan and this matter began to swerve out of control for the Dongran Kingdom. Starting in 927, the Khitan had begun to hunt down and execute all members of the royal family in order to destroy any chances of a new king or queen to rise to the throne of Balhae. However, several members of the royal family survived. Among them was Crown Prince
Dae Gwang-hyeon . The Balhae Crown Prince took Balhae refugees, mostly former Goguryeo people, and escaped down to their southern neighbor,Goryeo , where the newly-risen EmperorTaejo of Goryeo accepted them with generosity. Dae clan, however, united the westernAmnok River resistance groups and established "Later Balhae" at Holhanseong, in 927.Fall
