Queen Gongwon of the Namyang Hong clan (Korean: 공원왕후 홍씨; Hanja: 恭元王后 洪氏; 25 August 1298 – 12 February 1380), more commonly known as Queen Dowager Myeongdeok (명덕태후; 明德太后), was a Korean royal consort as the fourth wife of King Chungsuk of Goryeo and the mother of his two successors, Chunghye and Gongmin. The future Queen Gongwon was born on 25 August 1298 into the Namyang Hong clan as the fifth daughter of Hong Gyu. Her mother was a woman from the Gwangju Gim clan. Lady Sunhwa, King Chungseon's fifth wife, was one of her elder sisters. In 1313, she married King Chungsuk and was promoted to Consort Deok (덕비; 德妃), while her biological parents were given the honorary titles of Internal Prince Namyang (남양부원군) and Grand Madame of Gwangju County (광주군대부인). She was rumored to be intelligent and tidy when she was young, and after entering the palace, it was said that she followed the etiquette carefully and was loved by the king. In 1315, she gave birth to her first son, Wang Jeong. Although she was the king's first wife, Goryeo kings had to marry Yuan imperial women, so she had to move into Duke Jeongan's manor. However, the king left the palace every night to meet her, which made Yilianzhenbala, the Yuan princess, hate Lady Hong badly. In 1318, Lady Hong, the king and the princess went to Yeongyeong Palace (연경궁; 延慶宮) to enjoy a banquet.
