By the way: It was @ronsboy67 who explained why the title "Dae Jang Geum" should be preferred . The title "Dae" was given to her by the King.
¨Jewel In The Palace" is rather senseless in fact.

Her name is not mentioned in ¨The Veritable Records Of The Joseon Dynasty", in which only names of Royals where recorded .
But her person is mentioned in several other writings from sources in or close to the Palace,

@hanktank61 Great wiki article, than ks for sharing! It made me think of an old favourite, Queen In-Hyun's Man, where the titular hero is stunned at finding the modern archives so readily accessible
