A new code of law was issued by its king Pophung, who extended its borders by absorbing the Gaya confederacy. Its royal classes were known as seonggol and jingol, which mean "sacred bone" and the "true bone" respectively. It often shifted alliances between its neighbors, the Baekje and the Goguryeo, before conquering both and setting up a Unified dynasty in 668 CE.
