Wikipedia's article on En no Ozunu, known as En no Gyoja, giving his traditional birth in 634 at Katsuragi and death circa 700 to 707, his 699 exile to Izu Oshima on a sorcery accusation recorded in the Shoku Nihongi, his standing as Shugendo's traditional founder, and the article's own acknowledgement that even the historical record of his life is intermixed with legend and folklore dating to the Nihon Ryoiki of around 800, a continuously revised, community edited tertiary encyclopedia entry with no named author, hence the lower tier, though useful for these documented dates and the acknowledged legendary overlay.
