Historians consider details about the life of Empress Jingū to be mythical;[4] and the name Jingū-tennō was created for her posthumously by later generations.
No certain dates can be assigned to this empress's life or reign.[5] The conventionally accepted names and sequence of the early emperors were not to be confirmed as "traditional" until the reign of Emperor Kammu, who was the 50th monarch of the Yamato dynasty.[6]
