Biography

She was born on 28 June 1259 in Mongol Empire and her father was Kublai Khan. Genghis Khan was her great-grandfather. In 1274, she married with Chungryeol of Goryeo and she became the queen consort of Goryeo.

Originally, Chungryeol was married in 1260 to Princess Jeongshin, a niece of Prince Yangyang, son of Sinjong of Goryeo. When Goryeo became a vassal state of the Mongol empire, the influence of monarch was restrained. When she came to Goryeo, princess Jeguk brought her own servants from Yuan Dynasty and they continued to practice Mongol customs.

However, Princess Jeguk tried to devote herself to national affairs. Her personality was very strong and bright. Queen Jangmok died in 1297.
