Princess Hwayu (Korean화유옹주; Hanja和柔翁主; 29 September 1740 – 21 May 1777[a]), was a royal princess of the Joseon Dynasty and the tenth daughter of Yeongjo of Joseon.[1][2]

Biography

[edit]

Princess Hwayu was born on 29 September 1740 as the second and youngest daughter of King Yeongjo and his concubine, Royal Consort Gwi-in of the Pungyang Jo clan. Her personal name was not recorded in history. She received the title Hwayu in 1746.[3][4]

On 5 December 1752, the marriage between Princess Hwayu and Hwang In-jeon was decided, but the ceremony was stopped because of the death of Princess Hwahyeop.[5]

On February 27, 1753 (29th year of King Yeongjo), she married Hwang In-jeon. After the wedding, King Yeongjo continued to visit the residence of Princess Hwayu.[6][7]

Princess Hwayu and her eldest son suffered from boils, but the latter survived. She later died on 21 May 1777, lunar calendar, and was buried with her husband in Bucheon.[8]
