Queen Sinseong

Queen Sinseong or formally called as Queen Dowager Sinseong  was a Silla royal family member as the first cousin of King Gyeongsun who became the fifth wife of Taejo of Goryeo and the mother of Anjong of Goryeo, also the grandmother of Hyeonjong of Goryeo which she later posthumously honoured as queen in 1010 under his command.

Marriage
In November 935, when King Gyeongsun expressed his intention to surrendered Silla to Goryeo, Taejo sent an envoy in return this request. Taejo also wanted to married with Silla's royal member and Gyeongsun said:
 * "Our Uncle, Kim Eok-ryeom has a daughter that both of her virtue and appearance are beautiful."
 * "우리 백부(伯父), 김억렴(金億廉)에게 딸이 있어 덕(德)과 용모가 쌍미(雙美)한지라 이가 아니면 내정(內政)을 구비(具備)할 수 없을 것."

After this, Gyeongsun sent his older first cousin, Lady Kim to Goryeo and become the 5th wife of Taejo.
