Through her paternal uncle, Lady Kim eventually became a first cousin twice removed to the future Queen Jeongan, wife of King Jeongjong of Joseon.
After her husband ascended the throne, she was given a posthumous name of Queen Jeongsun (정순왕후; 靜順王后) in 1262[1] and after their son ascended the throne, King Chungnyeol bestowed the name of Queen Dowager Sungyeong (순경태후; 順敬太后) towards his mother in 1274.
[2] In 1310, by the new order (제서; 制書) from Emperor Wuzong of Yuan, Kim was titled as Queen Consort of Goryeo (고려왕비; 高麗王妃) since she was the grandmother of the reign king and was said by Wuzong to be clean and prudent in her behavior, as well as gentle and beautiful in the Dharma, praising her diligence and modesty.
Due to this, she became the last queen who received posthumous names like her predecessors in the early Goryeo period.
In 1244 (31st year reign of her father-in-law, King Gojong), she was buried in "Gareung tomb" (가릉; 嘉陵) located at Neungnae-ri, Yangdo-myeon, Ganghwa County, Incheon which became one of the few Goryeo Royal Tombs located in South Korea.
