Lady Hyegyeong attributed her husband’s mental illness partly to the ominous residence he lived in while eating the food prepared in the kitchen situated in Chwiseon Hall, where Lady Jang resided before her death.Being the longest-reigning queen consort in Joseon, Queen Jeongseong (정성왕후) married the future Since Yeongjo could not select a queen from his concubines after Queen Jeongseong’s death due to Sukjong’s law, a selection for the new queen was held after the mourning period had ended. Although they were not on the front line when it comes to governing the country, they were the closest supporters of their husbands and their sons as the rulers of the nation. However, Injong passed away one year later and Queen Inseong (인성왕후) was elevated to the rank of Royal Queen Dowager with the title Gongui (공의왕대비) when Injong’s stepbrother, Myeongjong, became the next king. I cannot lie on my back when it got painful, and the pain is not something I can endure. He created the Hangul alphabet we used today and issued a number of publications in the form of guidebooks for farming and medicine like Nongsajikseol and Hyangyakjipseonbang, all aiming to improve his citizens’ lives. Sado was exceptionally fond of her as she was in the same situation as him, not getting enough love from their father, Yeongjo. Thanks for putting this out here!I have a question about Queen Jeonghyeon. She was bestowed with the title Hye Bin (혜빈) after Sado’s death and her sad life seemed never ending when Jeongjo, then a Crown Prince, was legally declared as the son of Crown Prince Hyojang, Prince Sado’s elder brother. Geochang was her clan’s name. When Launcelot hears of the death of Arthur and Gawain, he comes to England in haste.

Queen Hyojeong (효정왕후) was 14 when she married Heonjong, but her husband died five years later without any heir. Crown Prince Munhyo died in his fourth year and Lady Seong’s followed his death few months later after experiencing a miscarriage. She penned The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyeong to shed the truth on the events surrounding her family as well as serving as a reminder to her grandson, King Sunjo. During those 18 years, he consolidated the power of the royal house, built up the military, and increased the income of the kingdom twofold.

I would also like to know when Lee Jeong-bin, Jo Gwiin and Moon Sukui received their titles as royal concubines (I mean which year and answer me only if there are information). Prince Yeoning, later Yeongjo, elevated the status of her tomb several times after he sat on the throne.She was originally a court matron (상궁) before she caught Sukjong’s attention. She was bestowed the title Hyeon Bin (현빈) after his death and continued to live inside the palace, but she fell ill and died in 1751. She entered the palace again after Queen Myeongseong’s death. Queen Myeongseong had four children: one son, Sukjong, and three daughters: Princesses Myeongseon, Myeonghae, and Myeongan.Sukjong’s consorts and concubines are famous subjects, be it in dramas or movies. The Princess gave birth to her first son at the age of 16, but misfortune struck when Queen Wongyeong passed away on the following year. Her sister’s daughter also became one of Prince Gwanghae’s concubines, Lady Shin Born as the 21st child and the 10th daughter of Seonjo, she was actually the king’s sole legitimate daughter, born from Seonjo’s relationship with his second queen consort, Queen Inmok. Instead of choosing Yi Bang-won as his heir, Yi Seong-gye, then Taejo, selected Yi Bang-seok, his second son with his second queen Queen Sindeok as the Crown Prince. Yi Bangwon thought he would be appointed as the successor to the throne, but under pressure from Queen Kang Sindeok and Jeong Dojeon, one of King Taejo's closest advisors, who was concerned about Taejong's strong leadership style and hard-line policy against noble families, Taejo leaned toward choosing the youngest of his eight sons, Yi Bangseok (Grand Prince Euian), a half-brother to Yi Bangwon, as the heir to the throne… 5th question: When Yeongjo was still a prince, his children with Lee Jeong-bin (Princess Hwaeok, Crown Prince Hyojang and Princess Hwasun) had the titles of a prince and a princess respectively and how were they addressed when Yeongjo became wangseje? Hwawan returned to the palace and exercised great authority and used her status as Yeongjo’s favourite daughter to gain control in the court. Through Park Yeon, he compiled the court music scores; through his open door policy to recruit people regardless of their social standing, training them in his Hall of Worthies (Jiphyunjeon) and selecting suitable persons for higher positions in the court, he allowed talented people to demonstrate outstanding abilities under his reign. 3rd question: Are there any records about why Queen Jeongseong and Queen Jeongsun didn’t bear any child during their lifetime? However, the Crown Prince did not like having her company, and she went too far in her effort to catch her husband’s attention. The king who established the 4 counties and 6 garrisons and expanded the Northern border near Amnok and Tumen Rivers to become the Korean Peninsula we know today was no other than Sejong. Prince Deokwon ascended the throne as Cheoljong and his consort was chosen among the Andong Kim clan by Queen Sunwon, who acted as a regent again. Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window) Together with her brother Moon Sung-gook, they conspired against Crown Prince Sado and fanned Yeongjo’s wrath towards the poor prince.

Meanwhile, he honored Jeong Mong-ju with the posthumous title of Chief State Councillor (equivalent to Prime Minister), even though it was he who assassinated Jeong — leading to an irony of history, in which Jeong Do-jeon was vilified throughout the Joseon dynasty while Jeong Mong-ju was honored despite his opposition to its birth.In foreign policy, he was a straight hardliner — he attacked the Taejong executed or exiled many of his supporters who helped him ascend to the throne in order to strengthen the royal authority.
