Crown Princess Minhoe

Crown Princess Minhoe or Crown Princess Kang (8 April 1611 - 30 April 1646) was the wife of Crown Prince Sohyeon, the son of King Injo and Queen Inryeol of the Cheongju Han clan. Crown Princess Jang (the future Queen Inseon) succeeded her position as Crown Princess of Joseon.

Biography

Lady Kang was born into the Geumcheon Kang clan to high-ranking state official, Kang Seok-gi, and his wife, Lady Shin of the Goryeong Shin clan (고령 신씨, 高靈 申氏) as their second daughter and seventh child on 8 April 1611. In 1627, Lady Kang, aged 16, was chosen by the court as a consort to the crown prince of King Injo. A Royal consort named Gwi-in Jo who was antagonistic toward the former crown princess, started to spread rumors that she was planning to poison the king. Without checking the authenticity of the rumor, the king ordered her death by poisoning. Her misfortune, however, did not end there; her elderly mother and four brothers were executed by beating while her three young sons were banished. Royal Noble Consort Gwi-in of the Okcheon Jo clan was also the cause of Crown Princess Kang's husband's death. She was later given another name, Crown Princess Minhoe, whose Chinese characters mean “grudge and remorse.”
