Queen Jeongui

Queen Jeongui of the Gaeseong Wang clan (Korean: 정의왕후; Hanja: 貞懿王后) was a Goryeo Royal family member as the granddaughter of King Hyeonjong[1] and the first wife of her first cousin, King Sunjong.[2] They had no any issue. Although commons Goryeo Queens changed their paternal clan into their maternal one, but Queen Jeongui didn't change her clan,[3] so it was speculated that there were some wrong theory on the records.
