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 had six 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) along 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 along with her husband.[7]
