Empress Jingū

Empress regnant of Japan

201 CE to 269 CE

Empress Jingū, also known as Empress-consort Jingū, (c. CE 169–269) is a legendary Japanese empress.

The empress or consort to Emperor Chūai, she also serves as Regent from the time of her husband's death in 209 until her son Emperor Ōjin accedes to the throne in 269.

Up until the Meiji period, Jingū was considered to have been the 15th Japanese imperial ruler, according to the traditional order of succession; 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.
