Empress Jingu-Kogo
A great Japanese Empress, who was traditionally considered the 15th ruler of Japan, as she sat on the Imperial Throne from the time of her husbands death in 201 A.D. until her son ascended in 269 A.D. She is considered legendary, not in doubt of her existence, but because of many of the stories that surround her. Of particular note is the legend that she held her late husbands seed inside her for over 3 years while she lead the armies of Japan to defeat and conquer parts of northern Korea, only giving birth to him after the campaign was completed. She claimed this was possible, because her son was the god of war, and gave her the power to control armies as long as he was in her womb.
