다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is interested in reconstructing the history of the mid 17th Joseon into the dramatic space of political conflicts surrounding throne succession and the involved court ladies and royal families` destinies, by focusing on Ro Yesyung(1601~?), an aged court lady who contributed a monetary offering to a Songgwangsa temple of jeonlado in order to make a Buddha statue in 1662. A paper found to be hidden in Buddha statue reveals her prayer for the welfare of prince Kyungan who was dispelled from potential successor of throne and exiled since childhood. Besides, her paper brought to light her contemporary court ladies` comradeships and friendships. This study contributes to a better understanding of the political history of the 17th century`s Joseon Dynasty, an age of great social and political transformation and the subordinated courtly women who have not emerged above the historical horizon.
