The Genealogical Book of Successive Queens of the Joseon Dynasty

This royal genealogy, called otherwise as ‘Wangbi Sebo’, records the history and lineage of the queen’s family. Since the first three books were published in 1681 (year 7 of Sukjong), until 1933, whenever a change occurred to the installation or the posthumous name of the queen, the book was revised and complemented. The book contains the information of the queen’s father to the progenitor, such as their name, title, birth/death day, cemetery, success in an exam, and wife. As for the parents, an epitaph was also added. After Sunjo’s time, not only the parents, but grandparents, great grandparents and above great-great grandparents’ epitaphs were also included.
