Queen Mundeok

Queen Mundeok of the Chungju Yu clan (Korean: 문덕왕후 유씨; Hanja: 文德王后 劉氏) was a Korean Royal Princess as the third daughter and youngest child of Gwangjong of Goryeo and Queen Daemok, also the youngest sister of Gyeongjong of Goryeo.[2] She was firstly married with Wang Gyu, but after his death, she remarried again and became a Korean Queen Consort as the first wife of Seongjong of Goryeo, her first cousin.[3][4] Due to this marriage, Queen Mundeok became the fifth reigned Goryeo Queen consort who followed her maternal clan since Queen Heonjeong and the first Goryeo queen who remarried again. Although her death date was unknown, but seeing that her son-in-law (formerly nephew), King Mokjong gave her Posthumous name in 997, so it seems that she was died before that.
