Biography
[edit]Her 4th great-grandfather was Yi Gwang, Prince Baekoh (이광 백오군; 1126–1170) from Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon Province. Because King Sejong disallowed a man and woman from the same clan to marry and any woman with the surname Yi,[3] she became the only Joseon Queen Consort whom came from a Yi clan (이씨; 李氏) in Joseon history.[citation needed]
In 28 July 1392, when Taejo established a new dynasty, she was granted the royal title Consort Hyo (효비; 孝妃) along with her husband whom was granted the title King Mok (목왕; 穆王).[4] Later on 22 April 1411, King Taejong, gave her a posthumous name Queen Hyogong (효공왕후; 孝恭王后).[5] Her tomb was located in Alleung, Neung-ri, Gapyeong-myeon, Siheung-gun, Hamgyeongnam-do along with her husband.[6]
