Biography

[edit]

The future Queen Yongsin was born as the daughter of Han-Jo (한조)[4] and the younger sister of Han-Gyu (한규),[2] also the older sister of her future husband's second wife, Queen Yongui. Not like the other Goryeo queens, she had no any blood-relation with Jeongjong from their initial family and this marriage was just a noble and royal family.

They were married while Jeongjong was still "Prince Pyeongyang" (평양군; 平壤君) and after his ascension to the throne, she became his queen consort and given royal title as Princess Yeonheung (연흥궁주; 延興宮主).[5]

In 1035, she bore Jeongjong a son named Wang-Hyeong (왕형),[citation needed] which she then honoured as Gracious Consort Han (혜비 한씨; 惠妃 韓氏; Hye-Bi)[6] and Princess Consort Jeongsin (정신왕비; 定信王妃) not long after her first promoted.

Meanwhile, in 1036, the Queen passed away and buried in "Hyeolleung Tomb" (현릉; 玄陵) with received her full Posthumous name in 1048 (2nd year reign of Munjong of Goryeo).[2]
