She was the daughter of Wang-Gyu (왕규),[1] she had a sister, Lady Hugwanjuwon (후광주원부인) whom was the 2nd wife of Hyejong of Goryeo, Taejo's son. When Taejo death, Wang-Gyu was the person who was in charge of the important task of proclaiming Taejo to the inside and outside dynasties. She bore Taejo a son, Prince Gwangjuwon (광주원군).[2][3]
Later, her father tried to assassinate King Hyejong just to put his only grandson of the throne, but that was failed and he was executed then in September 945.[4] However, some scholars have mixed interpretations of Wanggyu's role. Some of the modern scholars speculated if her son was killed because of her father's rebellion case. In fact, in most cases, the daughters of a rebels were also destroyed or killed together, and it was speculated that she and her sisters also faced the same fate.[citation needed]
