Biography
[edit]Lady Park was born in 1268 as the daughter of a Yuan dynasty's Cheonho (천호; 千戶), Park Gwang, Internal Prince Anbyeon (박광 안변부원군) who was a son of Park Tong (박통; 朴通). She later married Yi Chun with the couple having 5 sons and 2 daughters.[1] After her death, instead of remarrying, her husband took Lady Jo (조씨), the daughter of Jo Yang-Gi (조양기), as a concubine.
On 28 July 1392, her grandson, Yi Seong-Gye (이성계) established the new dynasty, the Joseon Dynasty. As the grandmother of the king, Lady Park was given royal title of Gyeongbi (경비; 敬妣; literally: Queen Gyeong or Consort Gyeong)[2] and later on 22 April 1411, her great-grandson, Taejong of Joseon, gave her a posthumous name Queen Gyeongsun (경순왕후; 敬順王后). Her tomb was located in Sulleung, Heungnam-si, South Hamgyeong Province.[3]
