Prince Morinaga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince Morinaga or Moriyoshi (護良親王) (1308 – August 12, 1335) was one of two Seii Taishogun during the Kemmu Restoration.
He was the son of the Emperor Go-Daigo and Minamoto no Chikako. He fought on the side of the Emperor, but was captured by Ashikaga Takauji. Ashikaga's brother Ashikaga Tadayoshi held him captive in a cave at the present-day Kamakura-gu for nine months before ordering his execution.
