Biography

Marrying Prince Neungyang, Injo of Joseon (능양군) when she was 17, she became the queen consort upon her husband’s ascension to the throne as King Injo of Joseon. She died four days after giving birth to her sixth son. Injo wanted to bestow Myeongheon as her posthumous title, but Kim Sang-heon persuaded the king to change the name into Inryeol (인렬왕후): benevolence in (仁) and pillar yeol (烈).
