Queen Hyogong

Queen Hyogong of the Pyeongchang Yi clan (Korean: 효공왕후 이씨; Hanja: 孝恭王后 李氏) was the wife Mokjo of Joseon and the mother of Ikjo of Joseon. She was also the grandmother of Dojo of Joseon, and the great-grandmother of Hwangjo of Joseon.^[2]

Biography[]

One of her ancestors was Yi Gwang, Prince Baekoh (이광 백오군) from Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do. Because King Sejong disallowed a man and woman from the same clan to marry and disallowed any woman with the surname Yi,^[3] she became the only Joseon Queen Consort whom came from a Yi clan (이씨, 李氏) in Joseon history. With Mokjo, she bore him 6 sons.^[4]

In 28 July 1392, when Taejo established a new dynasty, she was granted the royal title Hyo-bi (효비, 孝妃; literally: Consort Hyo) alongside with her husband whom was granted the title King Mok (목왕, 穆王).^[5] Later on 22 April 1411, King Taejong, gave her a posthumous name Queen Hyogong (효공왕후, 孝恭王后).^[6] Her tomb was located in Alleung, Neung-ri, Gapyeong-myeon, Siheung-gun, Hamgyeongnam-do alongside with her husband.^[7]
