Queen Dangyeong (7 February 1487 – 27 December 1557[1]), of the Geochang Shin clan, was a posthumous name bestowed to the wife and first queen consort of Yi Yeok, King Jungjong, the 11th Joseon monarch. She was Queen consort of Joseon for seven days in September 1506, after which she was known as Deposed Queen Shin (폐비 신씨).
Life[]
The future Queen was born on 7 February 1487 during the reign of King Seongjong. Her father, Shin Soo-geun was member of the Geochang Shin clan. His younger sister, Queen Jeinwondeok, was King Yeonsangun's primary consort. Her mother, Shin Soo-geun's second wife, was member of the Cheongju Han clan.
In 1499, she married to Grand Prince Jinseong, Seongjong's son, at the age of 13. As grand prince's wife, she received title Bubuin (Hangul: 부부인, Hanja: 府夫人). Her mother was given the royal title of “Internal Princess Consort Cheongwon of the Cheongju Han clan” (Hangul: 청원부부인 청주 한씨, Hanja: 淸原府夫人 淸州 韓氏), and her father was given the royal title of “Internal Prince Ikchang, Shin Soo-geun” (Hangul: 익창부원군 신수근, Hanja: 益昌府院君 愼守勤)
In 1506, King Yeonsan was deposed, and in the same day, soldiers belonging to the coup leaders surrounded Jinseong's house. Jinseong was about to kill himself, thinking that Yeonsan was finally going to kill him; but Princess Shin dissuaded him. When her husband became king (temple name: Jungjong), she became a queen consort. However because her father was the brother-in-law of Yeonsan; he was opposed of her husband’s enthronement, leading a coup against him, in which he was killed. Due to this incident, the Queen was deposed and expelled from the palace. When Yun Myung-hye (known as Queen Janggyeong) who was Jungjong's second queen consort died in 1515, Deposed Queen’s supporters tried to suggest her reinstatement, but the officials were against the idea and even caused her supporters to be exiled.
Deposed Shin received help from Jungjong's successor, Injong, to make her life better. She died in 1557, childless, and buried in a family tomb. Her tomb was named Olleung. She continued to be addressed as Deposed Queen Shin until King Yeongjo formally posthumously honoured her as Queen Dangyeong in 1739.[2][3]
