The Iron Empress of Goryeo: The Rise and Fall of Queen Heonae (Cheonchu) (Korean History)

Описание: #korea #koreanhistory #kdrama #한국사 #history #historyofkorea (episode 32)

Queen Heonae (964-1029), better known as Queen Mother Cheonchu or Empress Cheonchu 천추태후 or The Iron Empress, was the second daughter of Daejong of Goryeo (고려 대종). She was the younger sister of King Seongjong (고려 성종) and the third wife of King Gyeongjong (고려 경종). She was the granddaughter of Taejo Wang Geon, the founder of the Goryeo dynasty.

Her son became the seventh king of Goryeo: King Mokjong (고려 목종). Since he was only 10 years old when he became king, Heonae was his regent and ruled the country for many years.

After her husband’s death, she started to meet a monk: Kim Chi-yang (김치양).
Mokjong remained childless and thus Cheonchu would lose her power at court. Heonae secretly had a son with Kim Chi-yang and conspired to have her nephew, future King Hyeongjong (고려 현종), killed to put her youngest boy on the throne. But things didn’t go as planned…
