Queen Sinseong[6] (Korean: 신성왕후 김씨; Hanja: 神成王后 金氏) or formally called as Queen Dowager Sinseong (Korean: 신성왕태후; Hanja: 神成王太后) was a Silla royal family member as the first cousin of King Gyeongsun[7] who became the fifth wife of Taejo of Goryeo[citation needed] and the mother of Anjong of Goryeo,[8] also the grandmother of Hyeonjong of Goryeo which she later posthumously honoured as queen in 1010 under his command.

Biography[edit]

Marriage[edit]

In November 935, when King Gyeongsun expressed his intention to surrendered Silla to Goryeo, Taejo sent an envoy in return this request.[9] Taejo also wanted to married with Silla's royal member and Gyeongsun said:

"Our Uncle, Kim Eok-ryeom has a daughter that both of her virtue and appearance are beautiful."
"우리 백부(伯父), 김억렴(金億廉)에게 딸이 있어 덕(德)과 용모가 쌍미(雙美)한지라 이가 아니면 내정(內政)을 구비(具備)할 수 없을 것."[10]

After this, Gyeongsun sent his older first cousin, Lady Kim to Goryeo and become the 5th wife of Taejo.[11]

Family[edit]

Paternal ancestors[edit]

Queen Sinseong was the great-great-great-granddaughter of King Munseong and the daughter of Kim Eok-ryeom, who was the uncle of King Gyeongsun, making her King Gyeongsun's first cousin.[12]
