Royal Consort Sun of the Yangcheon Heo clan (Korean: 순비 양천 허씨; Hanja: 順妃 陽川 許氏; 1271–1335) was the sixth wife of King Chungseon of Goryeo. She was firstly married to Duke Pyeongyang, son of Duke Jean[1] and had 3 sons and 4 daughters.[2]

After his death, she married King Chungseon. It was said that her relationship with the King's beloved wife, Lady Gim was not good[3] since the two of them received the same gogo (고고; 姑姑), an official hat that was worn by the women of the Yuan imperial clan.[4] Since Heo was the mother-in-law of the Emperor, she even went to Yuan's Imperial Palace to inquire about her son-in-law. During a banquet, Lady Heo and Lady Kim changed their attire five times to show off their luxurious clothes and appearance.[3] all of her children married into noble families and the Yuan Imperial Family.
