AB - This study analysed regency of the Queen Mother Hunae(獻哀王太后) and political character in the period of king Mokjong(穆宗). The Empress Dowager Hunae was the wife of king Geongjong(景宗). When her son[Mokjong] came to the throne, she ruled as regent.
She engaged new men of ability, the reason was not only selecting her kindred[親屬] but also governed new politics. she established many government offices for showing a royale family's dignity. Also she improved various institutions like Eumseo(蔭敍), Bongjak(封爵) and Junsigwa(田柴科). Moreover she pursued independent and practical diplomacy, and concentrated national defense through building a castle or putting a military system. Her policies were strengthening of sovereign power and centralism. It succeeded to the policy of the preceding king Seongjong(成宗), but it sublated the rapid following of Chinese politics and maintained a peculiarity of Goryeo relatively.
In the age of king Seongjong she was friends with Hojok(豪族) from near capital, and then they were conscious of autonomy and regarded a king as important. After king Mokjong accessed to the throne, they consisted of an administration mainly. At the government of king Mokjong, there were kindred of the Queen Mother Hunae, Hojok from near capital and new bureaucracy with them. She consisted of an administration with them all, and she ruled well. But her son Mokjong didn't have a successor, so she wanted to make an heir to the throne. She committed adultery with her relative Kim-Chiyang(金致陽) and bore a son. She would like to succeed him to Mokjong, so she tried to kill a legal successor Daeryangwongun(대량원군). But many bureaucrats were opposed to her and supported Daeryangwongun. After all they attacked her, she and Mokjong fell.
The reason of her ruin was a limit of time that woman wasn't a king. She was the greate woman politician in Goryeo but she didn't estimate properly.
