Queen Gyeongsun of the Munju Park clan (; 1268–?) was the first wife of Yi Chun and mother of Yi Jachun who would become Joseon's founder, Yi Seonggye's father. She was posthumously honoured as Queen Gyeong at first.
Lady Park was born in 1268 as the daughter of a Yuan dynasty's Cheonho, Park Gwang, Internal Prince Anbyeon who was a son of Park Tong . She later married Yi Chun with the couple having 5 sons and 2 daughters.[1] After her death, instead of remarrying, her husband took Lady Jo, the daughter of Jo Yang-Gi, as a concubine.
On 28 July 1392, her grandson, Yi Seong-Gye established the new dynasty, the Joseon Dynasty. As the grandmother of the king, Lady Park was given royal title of Gyeongbi (; literally: Queen Gyeong or Consort Gyeong)[2] and later on 22 April 1411, her great-grandson, Taejong of Joseon, gave her a posthumous name Queen Gyeongsun . Her tomb was located in Sulleung, Heungnam-si, South Hamgyeong Province.[3]
