Queen Jiso (Korean지소태후; ? – 574) was a Korean honorary queen and regent. She was the spouse of prince Galmunwang Ipjong (입종 갈문왕) and the queen mother of king Jinheung of Silla.[1] She acted as Regent during the minority of her son, from his ascent at the age of seven in 540 until 551, a position earned by both her noble bloodline and her political wisdom.[2][3] During this regency, she completed building projects, such as the Heungryunsa Temple.[4] She also ordered the creation of works of literature and history, such as the great work of National History.[5][6]
