Lady Mongryangwon[3] of the Pyeongsan Bak clan[4] (Korean: 몽량원부인 박씨; Hanja: 夢良院夫人 朴氏; lit. 'Lady of the Mongr(n)yang Courtyard') was the daughter of Bak Su-gyeong[5] who became the 29th wife of Taejo of Goryeo.[6] Her aunt became his 26th wife[7] and her cousin became his 28th wife.[8] Her father was excellent in physical appearance, won every time went to war and took part in the fight against Gyeon Hwon while rescued Wang Geon from crisis when he was surrounded by the Later Baekje armies. It was said that he was entrusted with noble title and when Wang Geon paid a tribute to consideration of his servants' merits, Su-gyeong specially trusted with a special gift of 200 yards (200결).
