Princess Gyeonghwa was a Goryeo Royal Princess as the third and youngest daughter of King Gongyang and Royal Consort Sun.[1] [2] Following the establishment of the new Joseon dynasty, Princess Gyeonghwa became the last Goryeo Royal Princess (born from Queen).
As a child, the Princess was raised by one of King Gongmin's widowed consorts, Lady Han, in her own house and because of this, Lady Han was given lands by the Princess's father, King Gongyang of Goryeo.[3]
In 1390, she was honored as Princess Gyeonghwa along with her sisters,[4] and married Gang Hoe-gye, Prince Jinwon in August that same year.[5]
Gang Hoe-gye was the son of Gang Si from the Jinju Gang clan, and also the younger brother of Gang Hoe-baek . Gang become Prince Jinwon in August[6] after his marriage with the Princess.
However, in July 1392, after Yi Seong-Gye's ascension to the throne and establishing a new dynasty, Gang was sentenced to death and was beheaded along with Woo Seong-beom, the Princess's second older brother-in-law.
Meanwhile, her father-in-law, Gang Si was ordered to be executed on 29 May 1397, but then later died on 13 November 1400 (2nd year reign of Jeongjong of Joseon) at the age 62 years old and given a posthumous name Gongmok .[7] Meanwhile, all of her family (father, mother, sisters and brother) were exiled to Samcheok in 1394, but it was not said whether the Princess also got exiled or not. After the fall of the Goryeo period, the Princess's existence was unknown since there were no records left about her whereabouts.
