초록

무신 송송례(宋松禮)는 1258년(고종 45) 3월에 낭장(郎將)으로서 무오정변(戊午政變)에 참여하여 최씨무인정권(崔氏武人政權)을 붕괴시켰다. 송송례는 신의군(神義軍) 무관으로서 무오정변에서 휘하 병력을 신의군 도령낭장(都領郞將) 임연(林衍)에게 인계하여 최의세력(崔竩勢力)을 제거하는데 협조하였을 것으로 추정해보았다. 그는 복정우왕(復政于王)을 이룩한 공로로 1262년(원종 3)에 위사보좌공신(衛社輔佐功臣)에 책봉되어 국가로부터 포상을 받았다.
김준정권기(金俊政權期)에 송송례는 장군으로 승진하였으나 정치적으로는 크게 중용되지 못하였다. 하지만 임연정권기에 그는 김준세력을 제거한 무진정변(戊辰政變)을 묵인한 것을 인정받아 직문하성사(直門下省事)로 승진하였다. 임연을 계승한 임유무정권(林惟茂政權)에서, 임유무가 주요 국가정책에서 자신의 장인이었던 이응렬(李應烈)과 송군비(宋君斐) 등 대몽강경론자(對蒙强硬論者)를 크게 의지하였던 것과 달리 자신의 매부 홍문계(洪文系)와 송송례는 점차 멀리하였다. 이에 따라 송송례는 임유무세력에 커다란 불만을 가졌다. 그 당시 송송례는 몽골에 입조(入朝)한 후 몽골군을 데리고 고려로 환국한 국왕 원종(元宗)의 출륙환도(出陸還都) 명령에 부응하였다.
송송례는 자신의 아들인 신의군 장군 송분(宋玢)과 더불어 강화도에 있던 삼별초(三別抄)를 설득하여 출륙환도를 거부하였던 임유무를 직접 제거하였다. 이로써 100년간 유지되어 왔던 고려무인정권이 종식되었다. 송송례는 1270년(원종 11) 5월 29일 삼별초혁파령 이전에 자발적으로 강도(江都)에서 옛 서울 개경으로 가장 먼저 돌아와 그곳에서 국왕 원종과 왕세자를 영접하는데 모범을 보여주었다.

영어초록

The military officer as a Nangjang(郎將), Song songrye(宋松禮) had participated in Muojungbyun(戊午政變) in 1258, with a lots of Sambyulcho(三別抄) officers. As the result, Choi’s military rule was collapsed. Song songrye who was a Sinuigun(神義軍) officer, was assumed to turn over unit under the his command to Doryungnangjang(都領郞將) Im Yeon(林衍) who was planned to eliminate Choi Ui(崔竩)’s political power. He was installed to Wisabojwagongsin(衛社輔佐功臣) in 1262, owing to his service toward the restoration of the royal regime.
In the period of Kim Jun(金俊)’s political power Song song-rye was promoted to the position of general. But he was not taken into confidence by Kim Jun, military ruler. By the way, in the period of Im Yeon’s political power, Song songrye advanced to the rank of Jikmunhaseongsa(直門下省事), because of connivance toward Mujinjungbyun(戊辰政變) that had made wholesale arrest of Kim Jun’s strength. In the Im Yumu(林惟茂)’s political power that succeeded to political heritage of Im Yeon, Im Yumu relied on his father-in-law Yi Eungryul(李應烈) and Song Gunbi(宋君斐) in every affair to the primary national policy. On the other hand, Im Yumu avoided gradually Hong Mungye(洪文系) and Song songrye who were retainers of military ruler. Therefore, Song songrye had dissatisfaction severely to Im Yumu’s political power. At that time, he accepted to King Wonjong(元宗)’s order of the return to the capital, Gaegyung (開京).
Song songrye with his son, Song Boon(宋玢) who was a general of Sinuigun unit, persuaded Sambyulcho(三別抄) units that were stationed to Ganghwado(江華島), with a great cause. After that, he killed directly Im Yumu who had intended fighting desperately against Mongol empire. Hereby, Goryeo military rule that having been maintained during one hundred years, had come to the end. Before proclamation of the abolition against Sambyulcho at 29th day on May in 1270, Song songrye voluntarily returned to the capital of the past, Gaegyung from Gangdo(江都) most rapidly. And he showed role model to greet King Wonjong and Crown Prince, obviously among officials of Gangdo Court.
