충혜왕비 덕녕공주의 정치적 역할과 위상 = Political Roles and Status of Queen Chunghye or Princess Deoknyeong

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The marriage of Princess Deoknyeong and King Chunghye was a marriage of convenience according to the interests of two countries, just like the usual case of princesses of Yuan Dynasty. King Chungsuk proceeded the intermarriage with Yuan Dynasty as a expedient to reinforce the royal power while defending Shimwangpa. The the far west sphere, family of Shasgaba(搠思班) was selected for the marriage in the honor of its practical commitment to Goryeo with distinguished military services.
The marriage life of Princess Deoknyeong was not smooth. Because her father, Shasgaba was not only dead just one year after her marriage but her brothers were also dead 5 or 6 years after her marriage, she lost strong supporting forces. Accordingly her position in Goryeo became very narrow. Besides the involvement with a lot of women including his father`s concubine made her suffering from a severe pain. Finally King Chunghye was unfortunately dead on his way of banishment.
Although Princess couldn't raise her voice while King was alive, her activities became remarkable after his death. Once the accession of her son, King Chungmok to the throne, she positioned in the center of the political power as the Queen regent. It was not just a formal and nominal regency but rather a practical and strong power. The domination of political power was secured through the exclusive authority over personnel in which the position of her close associates was at the center.
The sphere supporting to the governance of Princess Deoknyeong were mostly deposed retainers of King Chunghye, of which the most remarkable roles were played by Shin Ye, Kang Yun Chung and Bae Jeon. Particularly Kang Yun Chung and Bae Jeon were the subject to be blamed of the immoral relations with Princess Deoknyeong, which might show a sort of compensation against King Chunghye's behaviors before his death. According to the political point of view, this was possibly exaggerated as a reaction to her wielding excessive power with the use of close associates.
The qualification to regency of Princess Deoknyeong was continuously maintained even after the inauguration of King Chungjeong, son of Yunbi, however the situation at the Chungjeong era was different from that of Chungmok. It was because of not only the influence of pro-Yuan power but also the maternal relatives of Chungjeong. At the earlier stage of the Chungjeong era when the political bonding between Huibi, real mother of Chungjeong and Princess Deoknyeong was required urgently among each other, Princess Deoknyeong had influential power as regent but became to have counter relation with the other power including the close associates of King Chungjeong and legitimacy government officials. Her unexpected return to Yuan Dynasty in the second year of the King Chungjeong's ruling era was somewhat connected to her vanishing of political responsibility than that in the previous era.
In terms of the regent role at the era of Chungmok and Chungjeong, Princess Deoknyeong is described by her power-oriented character with excellent political capability and skill. After loosing power in the politics at the end of King Chungjeong era, Princess Deoknyeong went back to Yuan Dynasty for four years and then returned to Goryeo living a quite life for the rest of her days with her daughter without any events.
Princess Deoknyeong lived a dramatically mixed life of the early stage as a passive Queen and the late stage as an aggressive and skilled politician. Her existence was much more emphasized in the political role at the same time less significant because her bold execution of political power was counter to the betterment direction of Gyreo government.
