'''Soseono''' ({{Korean|hangul=소서노|hanja=召西奴}}; 66/7 – 6 BC) or '''Yeon Soseono''' ({{Korean|연소서노|延召西奴|labels=no}}) was the second wife of [[Dongmyeong of Goguryeo|King Dongmyeong]] and a key figure in the establishment of both [[Goguryeo]] and [[Baekje]]. She was the mother of [[Biryu]] and [[Onjo of Baekje|Onjo]].
== Establishment of two kingdoms ==
The traditional account from the ''Annals of Baekje'' section in the ''[[Samguk sagi|Samguk Sagi]]'' states that Soseono was the daughter of Yeon Ta-bal, a wealthy influential figure in [[Holbon]]<ref>
[http://100.empas.com/dicsearch/pentry.html?s=K&i=273624 Encyclopedia of Korean Culture] {{in lang|ko}}</ref> and the second wife of Jumong. The same source states that the chief of the [[Habaek]] tribe had given his daughter, [[Lady Ye]], in marriage to Jumong and she was his first wife. Soseono's first husband was [[Wutae]].
After Jumong's eldest son, [[Yuri of Goguryeo|Yuri]], and Yuri's mother, Lady Ye, who were both presumed to have died, returned to Goguryeo, Yuri became the crown prince. Soseono left Goguryeo and took her two sons, Biryu and Onjo, south to found their own kingdom, Baekje.
==Death==
According to the ''[[Samguk sagi|Samguk Sagi]]'', Soseono died in 6 BCE at the age of 61<ref name="proper">
