Princess Jeongmyeong

During her older half-brother's reign, she suffered hardships,[citation needed] and her title was revoked, but later it was reinstated after her half-nephew ascended the throne.

She was a first cousin thrice removed of Crown Princess Minhoe, the future daughter-in-law of King Injo and Queen Inyeol, through her paternal grandmother.

After her father's death, her older half-brother, Crown Prince Gwanghae took over the throne, both of her maternal grandfather, Kim Je-Nam and her younger brother, Grand Prince Yeongchang were involved in Gyechuk Oksa (계축옥사),[citation needed] and were to be executed for contempt and plotting against the king.

Based on The Diary of Gyechuk (계축일기), Buk-in (북인; 北人), Gwanghae's supporters seemed very happy and pleased about this news.

Yi Yi-cheom (이이첨) had to force the Princess to get married and live outside the palace so that her marriage will just be that of an Ongju (옹주; 翁主).

Later, in 1623, when her half nephew, Injo of Joseon succeeded Gwanghae's throne, she was reinstated and allowed to live in Changdeokgung (창덕궁; 昌德宮) along with her mother.

Meanwhile, in the process, the Princess's mother, now Queen Dowager Soseong, made a problem with even down Hong Ju-Won to the horse that only the King could ride.

[7] At this, Injo, who is the new King of Joseon, was in disagreement, but he could not blame nor punish the Dowager Queen because he still respected her and regarded her as his parent.

[citation needed] In Gyeongsang Province, she enjoyed tremendous luxury, such as being given a large land reaching 8,076 units.

Which, through her second eldest son, Hong Man-yong; her great-great-great-granddaughter, Lady Hyegyŏng, eventually married her great-great-great-great half-grandnephew, Crown Prince Sado.

[1] Her third eldest son, Hong Man-hyeong, married Queen Inhyeon's paternal aunt, and eventually became the great-great-great-grandparents of Royal Noble Consort Won; who was the concubine of her great-great-great-great-great-grandnephew, and great-great-great-great-grandson, King Jeongjo.
