Emperor Suizei
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emperor Suizei (綏靖天皇 Suizei Tennō) was the second emperor of Japan to appear on the traditional list of emperors.
No firm date can be assigned to this emperor and he is regarded by historians as a "legendary emperor". He was the first one of eight emperors without legend. In Kojiki and Nihonshoki only his name and genealogy were recorded. His historical existence was traditionally believed and a tomb was attributed to him, but no contemporary studies support the view that such a person existed. He ruled from the palace of Takawoka in Kadzuraki.
According to the sources he was a son of Emperor Jimmu. Soon after he succeeded his father, his brother rebelled against him. His posthumous name literally means "joyfully healthy peace."
