Princess Hwayu (; 29 September 1740 – 21 May 1777), was a royal princess of the Joseon Dynasty and the tenth daughter of Yeongjo of Joseon.[1] [2]
Princess Hwayu was born on 29 September 1740 as the second and youngest daughter of King Yeongjo and his concubine, Royal Consort Gwi-in of the Pungyang Jo clan. Her personal name was not recorded in history. She received the title Hwayu in 1746.[3] [4]
On 5 December 1752, the marriage between Princess Hwayu and Hwang In-jeon was decided, but the ceremony was stopped because of the death of Princess Hwahyeop.[5]
On February 27, 1753 (29th year of King Yeongjo), she married Hwang In-jeon. After the wedding, King Yeongjo continued to visit the residence of Princess Hwayu.[6] [7]
Princess Hwayu and her eldest son suffered from boils, but the latter survived. She later died on 21 May 1777, lunar calendar, and was buried with her husband in Bucheon.[8]
