Queen Mundeok of the Chungju Yu clan (Korean: 문덕왕후 유씨;Hanja: 文德王后 劉氏; 955–?) was aGoryeo princess as the youngest daughter and child ofKing Gwangjong andQueen Daemok, also the youngest sister ofKing Gyeongjong.[1]
The future Queen was born in 955 as the youngest child ofKing Gwangjong andQueen Daemok. Although she was recognized as being part of the royal Wang clan, she was put under her paternal grandmother's clan, the Chungju Yu clan.
She firstly married Wang Gyu, who was also the grandson of Lady Heondok andKing Taejo, the only son ofCrown Prince Sumyeong. They had a daughter together who would eventually marryKing Mokjong, the son ofKing Gyeongjong.
But after Wang Gyu's death, Lady Yu remarried again and became a queen consort through her marriage with her half first cousin,King Seongjong, as his first and primary wife. From this marriage, Queen Mundeok became the fifth reigned Goryeo queen who followed her maternal clan afterQueen Heonjeong, her half first cousin and the first Goryeo queen who remarried.
Her death date is unknown, but seeing that her son-in-law (biologically, her nephew), King Mokjong gave her posthumous names in 997, it seemed that she died sometime before that.
