Queen Jiso

Queen Jiso (? – 574) was a Korean honorary queen and regent. She was the spouse of prince Galmunwang Ipjong and the queen mother of king Jinheung of Silla. She acted as Regent during the minority of her son, from his ascent at the age of seven in 540 until 551, a position earned by both her noble bloodline and her political wisdom. During this regency, she completed building projects, such as the Heungryunsa Temple. She also ordered the creation of works of literature and history, such as the great work of National History.
