Princess Jeongsin (; 1366 — 1421) was a Goryeo Royal Princess as the second daughter of King Gongyang and Royal Consort Sun.[3] [4]
On 17 April 1390, she was honoured as Princess Jeongsin along with her sisters,[5] then married with Woo Seong-beom whom later honoured as Prince Danyang .[6] [7] However, in July 1392, after Yi Seong-Gye's ascension to the throne and made the new dynasty, Woo was sentenced to death and was beheaded along with Gang Hoe-gye, her younger brother-in-law.
Woo Seong-beom came from the Danyang Woo clan who was the eldest son of Woo Hong-su [8] and the grandson of Woo Hyeon-bo . With Woo, she had one issue, a daughter.[9] While the Princess's father-in-law tried to conspired, it was failed and died after being executed by Taejo's royal troops in 23 August.
