Empress Jingū


Empress Jingū

Empress Jingū (神功天皇 Jingū tennō), also known as Empress-consort Jingū (神功皇后 Jingū-kōgō?), (c. AD 169–269) was a legendary Japanese empress. The empress consort to Emperor Chūai, she also served as Regent from the time of her husband's death in 201 until her son Emperor Ōjin acceded to the throne in 269.[1] Up until the Meiji period, Jingū was considered to have been the 15th Japanese imperial ruler, according to the traditional order of succession;[2] but a re-evaluation of the extant historical records caused her name to be removed from that list; and her son, Emperor Ōjin, is today considered to have been the 15th sovereign.
