Queen Sinjeong
Queen Sinjeong (Korean: 신정왕후; Hanja: 神貞王后; 9 January 1809 – 23 May 1890), of the Pungyang Jo clan, was the only wife of Crown Prince Hyomyeong and mother of Heonjong of Joseon. She was never formally a Queen but was known as Queen Dowager Jo (조대비) during the reign of her son before Cheoljong of Joseon granted her a proper title, Queen Dowager Hyoyu (효유왕대비).
After the previous king died, she was known as Grand Queen Dowager Hyoyu (효유대왕대비), and served as nominal regent during Gojong's minority, between 1864 and 1873. Although she left all de facto power to the King's father, Grand Internal Prince Heungseon, and only kept the formal title.
Lady Jo was born on 9 January 1809 into the Pungyang Jo clan to Jo Man-yeong and Lady Song of the Eunjin Song clan during King Sunjo's 8th year of reign. Through her paternal great-grandmother, Lady Jo is a first cousin twice removed, or a second cousin, of Lady Hyegyeong; who was the grandmother of her future father-in-law, King Sunjo. As well as a 5th great-granddaughter of Princess Jeongmyeong and a 6th great-granddaughter of Queen Inmok and King Seonjo.
In 1819, she became Crown Princess Consort when she married Crown Prince Hyomyeong, thus granting her mother the royal title of “Internal Princess Consort Deokan” (덕안부부인; 德安府夫人) and her father, “Internal Prince Pungeun” (풍은부원군; 豊恩府院君). The Crown Princess Consort gave birth to her only son, the future King Heonjeong, on 8 September 1827.
From 1827 and then on, her husband had acted as regent for his father when he was ill, but died at the age of 20 in the summer of 1830. During this time, her royal status was unspecified but was referred to Queen Dowager Jo. Her life was similar to that of Queen Sohye who never became Queen, but was the mother of King Seongjong.
Struggling with his illness, her father-in-law King Sunjo soon followed and died on 13 December 1834.
Soon after the late King's death, the Jo clan seized control over the royal court from the Andong Kim clan. The clan rose to prominence, pushing out the Andong Kim clan that had wielded power since the King Sunjo regime.
Her son, Heonjong of Joseon, became king in 1834 and that same year, her mother died.
