Biography

Biography

The future Queen Yongsin was born as the daughter of Han-Jo [4] and the younger sister of Han-Gyu, 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" and after his ascension to the throne, she became his queen consort and given royal title as Princess Yeonheung .[5]

In 1035, she bore Jeongjong a son named Wang-Hyeong, which she then honoured as Gracious Consort Han (; Hye-Bi)[6] and Princess Consort Jeongsin not long after her first promoted.

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