On February 8, 1404, King Taejong of the Korean dynasty of Joseon fell from his horse. He then attempted to prevent this fact from being recorded in official records. The recorders were an independent portion of the government and did not answer to the King, so they promptly followed their own rules and recorded both the fall AND the attempt to prevent the record of it from being made.
