Queen Hyogong of the Pyeongchang Yi clan (Korean: 효공왕후 이씨; Hanja: 孝恭王后 李氏) was the wife Yi Ansa and mother of Yi Haengni, making her became great-grandmother to Yi Jachun who was the father of Yi Seonggye, Joseon dynasty's founder.[2] Among the Joseon queens, she was the only one who came from the Yi clan and honoured as Hyo-Bi (효비, 孝妃; "the filial piety queen") at first.

Biography

One of her ancestors was Yi Gwang, Prince Baekoh (이광 백오군) from Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do. Because King Sejong disallowed a man and woman from the same clan to marry and disallowed 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. With Mokjo, she had six sons.[4]

In 28 July 1392, when Taejo established a new dynasty, she was granted the royal title Hyo-bi (효비, 孝妃; literally: Consort Hyo) along with her husband whom was granted the title King Mok (목왕, 穆王).[5] Later on 22 April 1411, King Taejong, gave her a posthumous name Queen Hyogong (효공왕후, 孝恭王后).[6] Her tomb was located in Alleung, Neung-ri, Gapyeong-myeon, Siheung-gun, Hamgyeongnam-do along with her husband.[7]
