Queen Shindeok (12 July 1356 - 15 September 1396) (신덕왕후 강씨) was the second wife and Queen Consort of King Taejo of Joseon, the first monarch of the Korean Joseon Dynasty. She was a political advisor of the king Taejo and had a great influence on the founding of Joseon.
She was born in Hwanghae Province in 1356. Her father was Kang Yun-Seong. During the Goryeo Dynasty, a son of the first wife of king was named Crown Prince but Queen Shindeok and Prime Minister Jeong Do-jeon convinced him to nominate her son, Grand Prince Uian as Crown Prince.
After Queen Shindeok died in 1396, her husband built a royal tomb for she. Prime minister, Jeong Do-jeon, planned to kill the sons of Queen Shinui to protect his position in the court and position of Crown Prince. Yi Bang-won, heard about the plan and came to palace where he killed Jeong Do-jeon and Queen Shindeok's sons. This event is known as First Strife of Princes.
