Biography
Early life
The future Queen Inheon was born on May 23, 1578 as the fifth daughter and second youngest child of Gu Sa-maeng and his second wife, Lady Shin. She had nine siblings: three older brothers, four older sisters and one younger sister.
Her paternal great-grandmother was Lady Shin of the Geochang Shin clan (Queen Shin’s niece and Queen Dangyeong's younger cousin), and her great-great-grandmother was Princess Gilan (a grand-daughter of King Sejong the Great and Queen Jeongsun's cousin).
Her uncle, Gu Sa-an, married Princess Hyosun (second daughter of King Jungjong and Queen Munjeong) and her great-granduncle, Gu Mun-gyeong, was the husband of Princess Hwishin (only daughter of Yeonsangun and Queen Shin, and another younger cousin of Queen Dangyeong).
Marriage
In 1587, Lady Gu married Yi Bu, Prince Jeongwon, third son of Seonjo of Joseon and Royal Noble Consort In of the Suwon Kim clan, thus becoming a sister-in-law to Princess Jeongmyeong and Grand Prince Yeongchang. She was titled Princess Consort Yeonju (연주군부인, 連珠郡夫人).
In March 1623, when her eldest son, Prince Neungyang, deposed Gwanghaegun and ascended the throne as King Injo, she moved into Gyeonghui Palace.
Death
Lady Yeonju[3] died on January 14, 1626 (4th year of King Injo's reign), at the age of 47 years old.[4] Her tomb is located in Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea and is known as Jangneung (장릉).[5]
In 1632, she was elevated to Queen Inheon, after her husband, Grand Internal Prince Jeongwon, was posthumously honoured as King Wonjong of Joseon.
