Those who were labeled "princesses supremes" (daejang gonju, 大長公主) were aunts of an emperor.[1][2] She was the aunt of Temür Khan, who later succeeded her father as the Yuan emperor.

Biography

She was born on 28 June 1259 in the Mongol Empire, and her father was Kublai Khan. Genghis Khan was her great-grandfather. In 1274, she married Chungryeol of Goryeo, becoming the queen consort of Goryeo.

Originally, Chungryeol was married in 1260 to Princess Jeongshin, a niece of Prince Yangyang, son of Sinjong of Goryeo. When Goryeo became a vassal state of the Mongol empire, the influence of monarch was restrained. When she came to Goryeo, Princess Jeguk brought her own servants from the Yuan Empire, and they continued to practice Mongol customs.

However, Princess Jeguk tried to devote herself to national affairs. Her personality was very strong and bright. Queen Jangmok died in 1297.
