QUEEN SEONDEOK: The Queen Who Refused to Surrender

She died. Her influence didn't. In 632, a woman took the throne of Silla at a time when kingdoms were ruled by men and Silla itself was surrounded by enemies. Her name was Queen Seondeok.

As Baekje and Goguryeo pressured Silla from beyond its borders, Seondeok turned to diplomacy, Buddhism, alliances, and the powerful men around her — including Kim Yusin and Kim Chunchu. In 647, the struggle for her throne became a rebellion. Seondeok died before seeing what Silla would eventually become.
