Life
Princess Ch'ŏngyŏn was born in the 30th year of Yeongjo’s reign as the eldest daughter of Crown Prince Sado and Crown Princess Consort Hye[2] She had two older brothers, Crown Prince Uiso and Jeongjo of Joseon, and one younger sister, Princess Cheongseon.[citation needed] But her eldest brother later died in infancy.
Because Princess Ch'ŏngyŏn was the daughter of the Crown Prince, she held the title of Commandery Princess (군주 ), a senior 2 rank and thus known throughout her life as Princess Ch'ŏngyŏn (청연군주, 淸衍郡主).
In 1765, the 41st reign of King Yeongjo, she married Kim Du‐Seong (김두성) of the Gwangsan Kim clan , son of Kim Sang-ik (김상익). Kim Du-Seong changed his name to Kim Gi-Seong (김기성).[3]
She died on July 7th in 1821. She was honoured by Emperor Gojong as Princess Ch'ŏngyŏn (청연공주) and her husband was posthumously awarded the title of Prince Consort Gwangeun (광은위).[4]
