About Queen Seongpyeong

Queen Seongpyeong of the Jangheung Im clan (; d. 1249) was a Goryeo royal family member and queen consort through her marriage with King Huijong as his second wife and followed her maternal clans as a result.

Life She was born into the royal House of Wang as the daughter of Wang Chin, Marquess Yeongin and Princess Yeonhui who was the daughter of King Myeongjong, making her became both of first cousin once removed (maternal) and fifth cousin (paternal) to her future husband. In 1211 (7th year reign of her husband), she was given the Royal title Princess Hampyeong and formally became the queen consort. Together, they had 5 sons and 5 daughters. When her husband tried to kill Ch'oe Ch'ung-hŏn at Suchang Palace , he failed and was forced to abdicate the throne as a result. Then, Huijong and their eldest son were exiled to modern-day Incheon and she became the only senior member left in the main palace, which believed that it was due to her close relationship with the next Kings, Gangjong and Gojong.

Upon the Goryeo-Mongol war breaking out, the court moved the Palace and she later died without being able to leave Ganghwa-gyeong on 1247 (34th year reign of Gojong of Goryeo). The queen was later buried in Soreung tomb and received Jeongjang as her posthumous name given by King Gojong in 1253.
