Lady Jukbang[3] of the Juksan Bak clan, was a Silla royal family as the descendant of King Pasa and primary wife of King Gyeongsun, making her the last Silla queen consort.[4] [5] [6]

Controversy

In other theory, Goryeosa, a historical book as the recording annals of the Goryeo period that completed in 1451 (1st year reign of Munjong of Joseon), once claimed that Jukbang was Gyeongsun's mother (羅王太后竹房夫人) or it can be regarded that she was the wife of the late king, so that she became a taehu during Gyeongsun's reign. Since there is none clear evidence despite Goryeosa that was made long time after the Silla dynasty's falls, this information somewhat can result to the mistranslation of the early Korean history.

From the other points, Gyeongsun was cited and recorded as the last king of Silla, thus, his wife, Jukbang, was regarded as the last queen consort of Silla. Yet, according to the Samguk Sagi, it was recorded that Gyeongsun's mother was the daughter of King Heongang, Queen Mother Gyea .
