Princess Supreme Noguk (Korean: 노국대장공주;Hanja: 魯國大長公主;lit. Princess-Aunt of theState of No; d. 8 March 1365[b]), also known asQueen Indeok (인덕왕후;仁德王后) andQueen Mother Indeok (인덕태후;仁德太后) during her stepson,King U of Goryeo's reign. She was aYuan dynasty imperial family member as the great-granddaughter ofDarmabala, and a niece ofPrincess Joguk who became a Korean queen consort though her marriage withGongmin of Goryeo as his primary wife. Her personal name wasBorjigin Budashiri (Mongolian:Будшир;Middle Mongolian:ᠪᠤᠳᠢᠰᠢᠷᠢ;Chinese:寶塔實里 or寶塔失里). She was the lastMongol to become queen consort of Goryeo.
The future Princess Noguk was born Budashiri, a member of theYuan dynasty's rulingBorjigin clan and a great-great-great-granddaughter ofKublai Khan. Though her birth year is unknown, she is recorded as having married the reformist monarchGongmin of Goryeo in the Yuan capital ofKhanbaliq in 1349, after which she went to live inGoryeo.
Noguk's marriage followed a practice established by Kublai Khan, where female members of the Yuan imperial clan were married to Goryeo princes in order to maintain Yuan hegemony on the Korean peninsula.[1] By contrast with earlier marriages between the Yuan and Goryeo dynasties, however, Budashiri's marriage to Gongmin was described as happy[1] and after her arrival inGoryeo, the Yuan gave Budashiri title as Princess Seungui (Korean: 승의공주;Hanja: 承懿公主).
WhenKing Gongmin restored Goryeo's independence, the Princess rejected her homeland, and by helping her husband she monopolized his love to her. Despite their close relationship, they were childless. Budashiri then became pregnant fifteen years after marriage, but died in 1365 from complications related to the childbirth.[2]
After her death, King Gongmin was said to have been deeply saddened and became indifferent to politics with entrusted great tasks to a Buddhist monk,Pyeonjo, who was executed in 1371. King Gongmin was killed in his sleep by Hong Ryun (홍륜), Choe Man-saeng (최만생), and others in 1374.
King Gongmin began the construction of a tomb nearKaeseong after the queen's death. The queen was interred under the moundJeongreung, and her husband was later buried under an accompanying mound known as Hyeonreung.[3]
In 1367, she posthumously received the title "princess supreme" (daejang gongju,大長公主) – typically accorded to aunts of emperors (even though she was not).[4][c]
According to theVeritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty, the tenth kingYeonsan believed that Princess Noguk had looked similar to his mother, the deposedQueen Yun, so he collected the princess' portraits at government offices.[5]
The emperor'sagnatic aunt shall be called Princess Supreme [dazhang gongzhu]. The emperor's sisters shall be called Grand Princesses [zhang gongzhu].
