About this person
Seondeok became Silla's twenty-seventh ruler in 632, breaking a centuries-old line of male succession. Contemporary chronicles describe her as generous, benevolent, wise, and smart; legend adds that she was beautiful. She reigned until her death on the eighth day of the first lunar month in 647, her fifteen-year rule marking a rare moment when a woman commanded one of Korea's warring kingdoms outright.
