Queen Gyeongseong of the Gyeongju Kim clan (Korean: 경성왕후 김씨; Hanja: 敬成王后 金氏; d. 23 September 1086[1]) was a Goryeo princess as the only daughter of King Hyeonjong and Consort Wonsun who became a queen consort through her marriage with her half older brother, King Deokjong[citation needed] as his second (formally as first and primary) wife.[2][3] From this marriage, Queen Gyeongseong became the ninth reigned Goryeo queen who followed her maternal clan after Queen Wonhwa, her stepmother. When still a child and royal princess, she was called Oldest Daughter of the Gyeongheung Residence (Korean: 경흥원 장녀; Hanja: 景興院 長女) since it was her mother's official residence. Since the same clan couldn't married, she then followed her maternal clan (Gyeongju Kim)[4] and became the 19-years-old Deokjong (her half brother)'s queen consort in 1034. However, their marriage lasted only 7 months which Deokjong died in the same year, so she lived about 52 years alone until her death in 1086. During her lived-alone, at least she watched the reigns of four monarchs (Jeongjong, Munjong, Sunjong, Seonjong). She later buried in Jilleung (질릉; 質陵) alongside her late husband[5] and received her posthumous name in 1096. Since the couple was childless, so the queen couldn't or didn't receive the honorary name like the other queen dowagers. Posthumous name
