MotherLady, of the Incheon Yi clan

She was born into the Ansan Gim clan as the mid and second daughter of Gim Eun-bu (김은부) and Lady Yi, daughter of Yi Heo-gyeom (이허겸) from the Incheon Yi clan.[2] Alongside her elder sister, she entered King Hyeonjong's palace in around 1011 and then honoured as Princess Anbok (안복궁주, 安福宮主) while lived in "Anbok Palace" (안복궁, 安福宮), later changed into Princess Yeondeok (연덕궁주, 延德宮主) while lived in "Yeondeok Palace" (연덕궁, 延德宮).[3][4]

However, in 1022 (13rd year reign of her husband), Lady Gim was died[5] and three years later became Posthumously honoured as a Queen consort. She was also honoured as Queen Pyeonggyeong (평경왕후, 平敬王后) in 1027 and buried in Hoereung Tomb (회릉, 懷陵).[6] After her eldest son ascended the throne as King Munjong, she was therefore honoured as "Queen Mother" (태후, 太后) and beside him, she also bore Hyeonjong a son[7] and a daughter who would marry King Deokjong.[8]
