Biography
[edit]Biography
[edit]It seems that she was born after 1109 not long after her older sister, Princess Seungdeok. She was the paternal aunt of the three rulers: Uijong, Myeongjong and Sinjong. Her maternal grandfather was Yi Cha-gyŏm from the powerful Gyeongwon Yi clan.
She was firstly called 'Princess–"gungju" (흥경궁주; 興慶宮主) but later on 9 October 1124 changed into Princess–"gongju" (흥경공주; 興慶公主).[1] Then, she married Wang Kyŏng, Duke Anpyeong (왕경 안평공) and died in 1176 (6th year reign of King Myeongjong).[2]
