Who was Queen Munjeong?
Queen Munjeong was the wife of King Jungjong of Joseon.
She was of the Papyeong Yun clan. She was regent for her son King Myeongjong when he was still too young to rule by himself until 1565. Known as a good administrator, she continued to rule even after he reached the age of majority. She gave out the land to common people that had been formerly owned by the nobility. It was only after her death that her son took over power.
She was given the posthumous title Seongryeol Inmyeong Munjong Wanghu.
