Queen Wonhye of the Ansan Kim clan (Korean원혜왕후 김씨; Hanja元惠王后 金氏; 1000 – 31 July 1022[1]), posthumously and commonly known as Queen Mother Wonhye (원혜태후; 元惠太后) was the 4th wife of King Hyeonjong of Goryeo, younger sister of Queen Wonseong and elder sister of Queen Wonpyeong.

Biography

[edit]

She was born into the Ansan Kim clan as the second daughter of Kim Un-bu and Lady Yi, daughter of Yi Ho-gyom (이허겸) from the Gyeongwon Yi clan.[2] Alongside her elder sister, she entered King Hyeonjong's palace around 1011 CE. She was honoured as Princess Anbok (Korean안복궁주; Hanja安福宮主) while living in Anbok Palace (안복궁; 安福宮). This later changed into Princess Yeondeok (연덕궁주; 延德宮主) when she moved to Yeondeok Palace (연덕궁; 延德宮).[3][4]

Death and legacy

[edit]

In 1022, the 13th year of her husband's reign, Lady Kim died after giving birth to her only daughter.[5] Three years later in 1025, she was 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, Lady Kim became honored as a queen dowager. Beside Munjong, she bore a son[7] and a daughter, whom would marry King Deokjong.[8]
