Gwiin Jo (Korean: 귀인 조씨; Hanja: 貴人 趙氏; 1 February 1842 – 25 December 1866), of the Pungyang Jo clan, was a consort of Cheoljong of Joseon.[1][2]

Biography

Lady Jo came from the Pungyang Jo clan. At the age of 17, she became a palace lady. On 22 February 1859, she was appointed as a royal consort of the junior first rank (귀인; 貴人; gwiin), and her first son was born in 1859. In 1861, she gave birth to a second son. Both princes died in infancy.

Lady Jo died in 1865, during Gojong's reign,[3] and the funeral rites were held at the residence of Grand Internal Prince Jeongye, King Cheoljong's biological father. Her tomb was initially in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, but was later moved to the Seosamneung Cluster[4] in Goyang.
