Kujō Yoshitsune
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kujō Yoshitsune (九条 良経? 1169-1206), son of regent Kanezane and a daughter of Fujiwara no Sueyuki, was a kugyō or Japanese court noble from the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period. He held a regent position sessho from 1202 to 1206. Kujō Michiie was his son.
In 1179 Yoshitune came of age. In 1188 when his elder brother died he was designated as successor of the family. In 1196 political shake-up caused him to lose the court position he was appointed a year before.
