Liuatrice, Queen Sumin Suinsaw

Liuatrice (?-744), also known by her posthumous title Queen Sumin Suinsaw, was the first wife of King Ridan during the Lithang dynasty.

She was a descendant of a migrant who moved to Mie Kingdom about 150 years ago. Her grandfather Dewa was a high-ranking official of Minister of Punishments, and her father Yangyin was Governor of Sham State. She became a servant then concubine of Ridan, Prince of Xang during the late years of Chinu's reign, with whom she had 1 son and 2 daughters. In 739, Ridan ascended the throne and made Liuatrice queen of Mie. However, Ridan abdicated to let his mother Uzatyen rule 3 years later, then he was reduced to the crown prince, while Liuatrice was made the crown princess.

In 744, one servant of Uzatyen named Tuaner fell in love with Ridan and told him, but Ridan refused. Spiteful Tuaner framed Liuatrice and Thedou (one of Ridan's concubines, mother of Reyonki) that they cursed Uzatyen in back. On 2 January, Liuatrice and Thedou celebrated the new year with Uzatyen in Royal Apartment of Gayu, and they never returned. Most people believed they were secretly executed by Uzatyen, but no one knew where their bodies were.

In 754, Ridan was restored to be the viceroy. The king crowned Liuatrice queen consort posthumously with the title of Sumin Suinsaw.
