Royal Consort Jeongsin of the Incheon Yi clan was a Korean queen consort and the first wife of King Seonjong of Goryeo, her second cousin.[2] She was the second Goryeo queen consort who didn't receive a posthumous name like the other queen consorts following Lady Wang.
She was the daughter of Yi Ye,[3] son of Yi Ja-sang and younger brother of Yi Ja-yeon . It seems that she married Seonjong when he was still "Duke Gukwon" and then became "Duchess Consort Gukwon" while lived in his manor. Although she was the first wife, but she didn't lived long and bore him a daughter who later became Yejong of Goryeo's first wife.[4] In 1107, her son-in-law tried to orient himself at Seonjong's tomb, but was not accomplished due to the opposition from his officials.
