## Biography

[edit]

The future Lady Gwi-in was born in 1827, during the 27th year of King Sunjo's reign, into the Miryang Park clan.[1] She entered the palace as a gungnyeo and became a Royal Consort after giving birth to a prince, on August 3, 1854. Her son died later that year.[2]

Park Gwi-in died on May 9, 1889 (the 26th year of King Gojong's reign), at the age of 63 years old.[3]

Her tomb was initially located in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, but was later moved to the Seosamneung Cluster, in Goyang, which also contains Yereung, her husband's tomb.
