Princess Cheonmyeong of Silla

Princess Cheonmyeong of Silla (hanja: 天明公主 , date of birth and death unknown) was a princess of Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, and is notable as the sister of Queen Seondeok of Silla, who reigned as Silla's twenty-seventh ruler. She was Queen Seondeok's full sister, her parents being King Jinpyeong and Queen Maya. Records are unclear as to which of the sisters was the elder, with the Samguk Sagi stating that Princess Deokman (later Queen Seondeok) was the elder but with many other sources stating that Princess Cheonmyeong was the elder by a wide margin.
