Queen Mundeok of the Chungju Yu clan (Korean: 문덕왕후 유씨; Hanja: 文德王后 劉氏) was a Goryeo Royal Princess as the youngest daughter and child of King Gwangjong and Queen Daemok, also the youngest sister of King Gyeongjong.[2] She firstly married with Wang Gyu, but after his death remarried again and became a Queen Consort though her marriage with her half first cousin, King Seongjong as his first and primary wife.[3][4] By this marriage, Queen Mundeok became the fifth reigned Goryeo Queen consort who followed her maternal clan since Queen Heonjeong and the first Goryeo queen who remarried. Although her death date was unknown, but seeing that her son-in-law (formerly nephew), King Mokjong gave her Posthumous name in 997, so it seems that she was died before that.
