Life Edit
Princess Cheongyeon was born in the 30th year of Yeongjo reign as the eldest daughter of Crown Prince Sado and Crown Princess Hong.[2] She had two full brothers, Crown Prince Uiso and Jeongjo of Joseon, and one younger full sister, Princess Cheongseon.[3]
Because Princess Cheongyeon 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 Cheongyeon (청연군주, 淸衍郡主).
In the 41st reign of King Yeongjo (1765), 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).[4]
She died on 9 June 1821. She was honoured by Emperor Gojong as Princess Cheongyeon (청연공주)[3] and her husband was posthumously awarded the title of Prince Consort Gwangeun (광은위).[5]
