Queen U (Korean: 왕후 우씨; Hanja: 王后 于氏; d. 234), sometimes romanized as Queen Woo, was the queen of Goguryeo as the wife of both King Gogukcheon (Go Nammu) and later his younger brother King Sansang (Go Yeonu).[1] She was famous for maintaining supreme authority. Her second marriage is a well-known example of Goguryeo's levirate marriage custom.[2]
