Deposed Queen Yun of the Haman Yun clan (15 July 1455 – 29 August 1482) was the second wife of Yi Hyeol, King Seongjong and the mother of Yi Yung, Prince Yeonsan. She was Queen of Joseon from 1476 until her deposition in 1479. She was an 11th generation descendant of General Yun Gwan (윤관).

Originally a concubine of the King, she was elevated to queen rank after Han Song-yi's death. The ousting of the Queen in 1479, and her subsequent death by poison in 1482 became a source of recurrent political turmoil, culminating with the First literati purge organized in 1498 by Yeonsan in the 4th year of his reign.

Biography

Early life

Lady Yun was born on 15 July 1455 during King Danjong’s reign as the only daughter to Yun Gi-Gyeon of the Haman Yun clan and his second wife, Lady Shin of the Goryeong Shin clan. She had three older half-brothers and an older brother.

Through her brother, her grandniece married Yi Ryang; the maternal uncle of Queen Insun, the wife of King Myeongjong. Through her mother, Lady Yun is a first cousin once removed of Shin Suk-ju.

Palace life

In a first time, she was a concubine of Seongjong, granted the title Suk-ui (숙의, 淑儀), junior 2nd rank concubine of the King. In 1473, Han Song-yi who was Seongjong's first queen consort died and posthumously honoured as Queen Gonghye.

Because she died without issue, the King was urged by counselors to take a second queen consort to secure the royal succession. Royal Consort Suk-ui was chosen as new queen consort for her beauty,[1] and was instated in 8 August 1476 at the age of 21. Several months later, she gave birth to Yi Yung, later to become King Yeonsan.

The new queen proved to be temperamental and highly jealous of Seongjong's remaining concubines, even stooping to poisoning one of them in 1477.

When it comes to Queen Yun, the most famous story is that she "scarred King Seongjong's face with her fingernails," but in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, there is no record of it and since it is a rumor passed down only through private history, the possibility seems very slim given the circumstances and strong male dominant culture plus the fact that her husband was the King at the time.

After several rehabilitation attempts initiated by her party, influential government officials petitioned for her execution. The deposed queen was sentenced to death by poisoning. She gave the cloth with her blood on it to her mother and asked for it to be given to her son.

She later became known as Deposed Queen Yun. The meaning of "Pyebi Yun-ssi" (폐비윤씨, 廢妃 尹氏), her current name in Korea,[2] is "deposed consort of the Haman Yun family". Western references are rather using Deposed Lady Yun as in.[3]

Aftermath

After her death, court officials urged Seongjong to pick a wife from within his concubines. One court official’s daughter, Royal Consort Suk-ui of the Paepyeong Yun clan, became Queen Consort.

It is argued that Queen Jeonghyeon helped to bring Queen Yun’s demise along with her father Yun Ho and her 6th cousin, Yun Pil-sang. But it is unknown how much Queen Jeonghyeon, who was 17 years old at the time, was involved in the abolition of the now deposed Queen Yun. It’s speculated that Queen Jeongsun was also behind it.

Her son, Prince Yeonsan, grew up thinking Queen Jeonghyeon was his birth mother. But in 1494, the young king eventually learned of what had happened to his biological mother and attempted to posthumously restore her titles and position. Because of officials standing in his way, the manner and matter of her death became a pretext for her son to purge the court and government of opponents and critics of his rule.

During Yeonsan's reign, he honored his mother with the posthumous title "Queen Jeheon" (제헌왕후, 齊獻王后).
