초록

왕조국가 조선에 대한 이해에 있어 왕실이나 국가와 같은 상부구조(Superstructure)를 중심에 두고 그 관계성을 추적하는 것은 사회 토대(Base)의 변화 동향에 대한 연구와 동시에 이루어 질 필요가 있다. 이러한 시각에서 이 논문은 왕실과의 혼인이 특정가문에 미친 정치적, 경제적 영향에 대한 파악을 목적으로 鄭易(?~1425)을 정점으로 한 해주정씨를 사례분석 했다.
정역은 이방원과의 동방급제를 인연으로 조선 개국 후 태종의 아들 효령대군을 사위로 삼았으며, 이를 계기로 그를 정점으로 한 해주정씨는 조선 전기 왕실과의 혼인이 잇따르게 되면서 정치적 입지를 다지는 것은 물론 왕실이나 국가로부터 경제적 후원을 확보할 수 있었다. 조선 후기 해주정씨 종가는 魯山君과 魯山君夫人에 대한 奉祀를 계승한 사실과 더불어 端宗복위와 定順王后 思陵 조성으로 왕실인연이 재조명되었다. 이를 계기로 해주정씨 종가는 당쟁의 소용돌이에서 빗겨나 사환을 지속함은 물론 조선 전기 이래 왕실연원의 가산을 보존하고 경영할 수 있었다. 요컨대 조선시대 왕실혼은 왕실로부터 경제적 후원은 물론 정치적 배려가 집중되는 계제가 되었으며 이러한 요소들의 관리 또한 가계경영의 요체가 되었다.

영어초록

There were no royal marriages between monarchs during the Choson period (1392~1897), and marriage alliances were often made between members of the royal family and the Yangban class, one of the two official orders of that time. Based on this phenomenon, this article focuses on the Haeju Jeong clan to examine how the royal family provided political and economic benefits to allied clans.
Members of the head Haeju Jeong family married members of the royal family, including princes and princesses, in the 15th century and enjoyed high-ranking official positions. This trend continued through to the end of the 16th century. As a result of its bond with the royal family, the Haeju Jeong family acquired special economic support through land, slaves, housing and jewelry from the royal family and, consequently, from the nation since there was no clear separation between royal and national finances. Even though the Haeju Jeong clan was not able to continue such marriage alliances in the 17th and 18th centuries, the family still received attention from the royal family. This occurred because the clan had continued to hold memorial services for a deceased brother-in-law who had been "unkinged" but was a member of their clan and of the royal family, and he was finally restored. The head Haeju Jeong family had also preserved the property that the royal family had presented to it to represent their alliance. After making this restoration to the clan, the royal family appointed the eldest member of the head family as a public officer, and the clan made use of this support to maintain its economic status. In conclusion, marrying a member of the royal family guaranteed political and economic assistance for the Haeju Jeong clan in the Choson period, and this clan also continued to make an effort to preserve its representation through memorial services and property it had acquired from the royal family.
