Queen Inyeol

Queen Inyeol (a.k.a. Inryeol, Hangul: 인열왕후; Hanja: 仁烈王后; 16 August 1594 – 16 January 1636), was a wife and the queen consort of King Injo of Joseon, the 16th monarch of the Joseon Dynasty. Her tomb is located in Paju, Gyeonggi-do.

Marrying Prince Neungyang, Injo of Joseon (능양군) when she was 17, she became the queen consort upon her husband’s ascension to the throne as King Injo of Joseon. She passed away four days after giving birth to her sixth son. Injo wanted to bestow Myeongheon as her posthumous title, but Kim Sang-heon persuaded the king to change the name into Inryeol (인렬왕후): benevolence in (仁) and pillar yeol (烈).
