Queen Jeongui of the Gaeseong Wang clan (Korean정의왕후 왕씨; Hanja貞懿王后 王氏) was a Goryeo royal family member as the granddaughter of King Hyeonjong[1] who became the first wife of her first cousin, King Sunjong.[2] Although most Goryeo queens followed their maternal clan, but since Queen Jeongui didn't change her clan,[3] it was speculated that there were some wrong theory written on the records.
