다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article examined the complicated status of Yeongyeong Palace with considering both royal organization and marriage system in the early and middle period of the Goryeo dynasty. It also tried to find out the most appropriate site this palace was likely to exist at that time in order to reveal the reason it could be converted into one of the most important separate palaces(別宮；Byeolgung) of kings after the King Munjong’s reign.
Yeongyeong Palace was an important political space along with Suchang Palace, although they were distinct from main palace(本闕；Bongwol), but its status changed so much unlike that of Suchang Palace. The initial rank given to Yeongyeong Palace was ‘Won(院)’ lower than ‘Gung(宮)’ in the palace rank system of the Goryeo dynasty. Its status was influenced by that of its first owner, Empress Dowager Wonseong, who had intervened in the marriage network of the King Hyeonjong by taking advantage of confusion caused by the second war between Goryeo and Khitan. After Empress Dowager Wonseong was assigned to a queen thanks to her first son who was admitted as the crown prince, her younger sibling Queen Wonpyeong seemed to be the next owner of Yeongyeong Palace in which all the princes and princesses born between the King Hyeonjong and two older sisters of Queen Wonpyeong were raised. Yeongyeong Palace’s succession showed well soraral polygyny that accorded with traditional culture of matrilocal residence in the Goryeo dynasty.
After Queen Wonpyeong died, Yeongyeong Palace was bestowed to the first daughter of Empress Dowager Wonseong who got married with the King Munjong, her half-sibling, and that’s why the King Munjong gained right over Yeongyeong Palace. As the King Munjong started to utilize the space and economic resources of Yeongyeong Palace, as a result, it became one of the most important separate palaces of kings. Yeongyeong Palace could share functions of main palace based on its geographical advantage. It is estimated that Yeongyeong Palace had been constructed inside the Imperial Capital of the Goryeo dynasty, especially near Beobwang Monastery or Palgwanbo, in contrast to the argue of previous study which insisted that it had existed outside the Main Gate of Gwangwhamun and the Imperial Capital.
