From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Draft:Ye So-ya)

Lady Ye (Korean예씨 부인; Hanja禮氏 夫人) was the first wife of Dongmyeong of Goguryeo and mother of his successor, King Yuri.

Life

[edit]

When Dongmyeong was in Buyeo, he married Lady Ye and she became pregnant before he left the country due to threats from Daeso. Later, she gave birth to Yuri (유류; 儒留) and raised him without her husband.[1]

As Yuri became older, he questioned Lady Ye about his father. She told Yuri that his father was not welcomed by Buyeo, thus went south and became the king of a newly founded state. She also said Chumo purposely hid an object under a pine tree supported by the rock with seven angles as a way for his son to certify his identity.[1] After Yuri found a broken sword, Lady Ye came to Goguryeo with him in 19 BC.[2]
