Biography

Born in 1687, on the twenty-ninth day of the ninth month in the thirteenth year of the reign of King Sukjong, the future Queen Inwon was the second daughter of Kim Joo-shin (Hangul: 김주신, Hanja: 金柱臣)[1] and Lady Garim of the Imcheon Jo clan (Hangul: 임천 조씨, Hanja: 林川 趙氏),.[2] She had two younger brothers, Kim Hu-yeon (Hangul: 김후연, Hanja: 金後衍) and Kim Gu-yeon (Hangul: 김구연, Hanja: 金九衍), one older sister who married Mayor Lee Deok-rin (Hangul: 시장이덕린, Hanja: 郡守李德隣), and one younger sister who married Yun Myeon-gyo (Hangul: 윤면교, Hanja: 尹勉教).

She married King Sukjong in 1702 as his third queen consort,[3] following the death of Queen Inhyeon and the execution of Jang hui-bin in 1701. She came down with smallpox in 1711, but survived.

Following King Sukjong's death in 1720, she became Queen Dowager (大妃 대비 daebi). Following the death of her stepson, King Gyeongjong, and the accession of her other stepson, King Yeongjo, in 1724, she became Grand Queen Dowager (大王大妃 대왕대비 daewangdaebi).

She died on the twenty-sixth day of the third month in the thirty-third year of the reign of King Yeongjo (1757) at Changdeok Palace, aged 69. She was buried in Myeongreung, Gyeonggi Province, near the tombs of King Sukjong and his second Queen Consort, Queen Inhyeon.
