Queen Daemok

Queen Daemok of the Hwangju Hwangbo clan (Korean: 대목왕후 황보씨; Hanja: 大穆王后 皇甫氏; 925–?

), also known as Queen Taemok (Korean: 태목왕후; Hanja: 太穆王后), was a Goryeo princess as the only daughter of King Taejo and Queen Sinjeong,[citation needed] also the younger sister of King Daejong[3] who became a queen consort through her marriage with her half older brother, King Gwangjong.

[citation needed] She was also the mother of most his children and the first Goryeo queen to use her maternal surname, Hwangbo.

Her death is presumed to have occurred after 975 but before 1002, when King Mokjong (her only grandson) gave her a posthumous name.

[citation needed] [5][6][7] Queen Daemok is often portrayed as an antagonist when the stories are based on Gwangjong's reign period.
