Princess Seunggyeong (Korean: 승경궁주; Hanja: 承慶宮主; died before 1158) or Royal Princess of the Seunggyeong Palace (승경궁공주; 承慶宮公主)[1] was a Goryeo Royal Princess as the first and eldest daughter of King Injong and Queen Gongye, also the eldest aunt of Gangjong and Huijong.[2][3]
In 1148, she, as the High Princess (상공주; 上公主) and her younger sister formally became a princess (궁주; 宮主). She later married Duke Gangneung's (강릉공) son, Wang Yeong the Count Gonghwa (공화백 왕영) and had a daughter and a son together.[4] Their daughter died in 1185 unmarried, while their son married Seunggyeong's niece–Princess Hwasun (화순궁주) and died in 1218.
According to her daughter's epitaph (왕영녀왕씨묘지명; 王瑛女王氏墓誌銘), Princess Seunggyeong (Lady Wang's mother) died when Wang unreached the age of 7/8 years.[5][6] From this point, Seunggyeong was believed to have died before 1158 since Wang was born in 1150.
