Biography[]
Early life[]
It seems that she was born after 1109. She was also the paternal aunt of Uijong of Goryeo, Myeongjong of Goryeo and Sinjong of Goryeo. Her maternal grandfather was Yi Ja-gyeom, the grandson of Yi Ja-yeon (이자연) from Incheon Yi clan. Later, in 28 August 1124 (2nd year reign of her older brother), she was honoured as Princess Jang (장공주) and then married with Wang-Gi, Count Hannam (왕기 한남백). After her death, she posthumously honoured Princess Seungdeok (승덕공주 or 승덕궁주, 承德公主 or 承德宮主).[4]
Husband's families[]
Her husband, Wang-Gi was the son of Wang-Jeong, Count Seunghwa (왕정 승화백), the grandson of Wang-Gi, Duke Pyeongyang (왕기 평양공), the son of Hyeonjong of Goryeo and Princess Heungsu (흥수궁주) who was her aunt. So, the Princess and her husband were a cousin at least. Hence, this marriage was an example of an incestuous marriage. With him, she had 3 sons.[5]
