Abstract

Based on the records in 『Samguksagi』, Chuncheon is known as the old territory of Maecguk, demontrating that the range of Nakrang after Maecguk was reached to this area with excavation of chinese style earthen wares, iron wares such as Hwandusodo and Osujeon. As early Baekje reached to Gapyeong which is near Chuncheon, Nakrang used Woodu Castle in Chuncheon as the base of their strategy to be against the Baekje and used Maec origin malgal in Youngseo and Northern Gyunggi area to balance the power in this area. Giriyoung battle in the age of King Goi of Baekje seems to break the balnace between Baekje and Nakrang. After this time, Baekje started to be spreaded around Youngseo and Northern Gyunggi area, on the other hand, Nakrang started to decline. In the beginning of Baekje, Maec origin malgal invaded Baekje as the force of Nakrang building the antagonistic relationship. Malgal reformed the military organization mainly with infantry. They invaded Baekje not for territory but for securing food. Malgal was so threatening in the beginning of King Onjo era that Baekje moved the King's palace to the southern part. Later, however, due to the pushy counterattack of Baekje, the chief was captured and tribal society was demolished. So, they put the relation with Nakrang behind and entered into friendly relations with Baekje, which made them decline rapidly. We can know the fact that after this time, most of Maec style malgal in central area was incorporated into Baekje and Goguryeo. Records related to Malgal and Nakrang in 『Samguksagi』 and 「Baekjebongi」 are basic factors to let us know their roles in this area. In 25th year of King Goi regime which is in the middle of 3rd century, the amity between Baekje and Malgal meant that Woodu Castle finished its role as the de facto power of Malgal. The recent relics of early Baekje style village excavated in Hwacheon which are assumed to be from 3rd century certify this fact.
