Biography

Lady Park was born as the daughter of a Yuan dynasty's Cheonho (천호, 千戶), Park Gwang, Internal Prince Anbyeon (박광 안변부원군). She later married Yi Chun and had 5 sons, and 2 daughters.[2] After her death, instead of remarrying, her husband had Lady Jo (조씨), the daughter of Jo Yang-Gi (조양기), become his concubine. In 28 July 1392, when her grandson, Yi Seong-Gye (이성계) established the new dynasty, the Joseon Dynasty. As the grandmother of the king, Lady Park was given royal title of Gyeongbi (경비, 敬妣; literally: Queen Gyeong or Consort Gyeong)[3] and later on 22 April 1411, her great-grandson, Taejong of Joseon, gave her a posthumous name Queen Gyeongsun (경순왕후, 敬順王后). Her tomb was located in Sulleung, Heungnam-si, Hangyeongnam-do.[4]
