genealogy

  • Morinaga (盛 長; † 1200) took part in the fight against the Taira on the side of Minamoto no Yoritomo . After his side's triumph, he became a monk under the name of Rensai .
  • Kagemori (景 盛; † 1248), the eldest son of Morinaga, served under Minamoto no Yoriie . In 1218 he got the domain back from Akita and became the first to bear the title "Akitajō no Suke" (秋田 城 の 介). After Minamoto no Sanetomo's death , he shaved his head, called himself Gakuchi and retired to the monastery on Mount Kōya . He is therefore also called "Kōya-Nyūdō" (高 野 入道) and is known primarily by this name. - At the time of the armed Jōkyū clashes around 1221, he marched together with Hōjō Tokifusa (北 条 時 房; 1175-1240) against Kyōto and defeated the imperial army. His daughter, who Hōjō Tokiuji (北 条 時 氏; 1203-1230) had married, was the mother of Hōjō Tsunetoki (北 条 経 時; 1224-1246) and Tokiyori (1227-1263), and when the latter became Shikken , Kagemori's influence also grew . He did everything in his power to wipe out the Miura clan in 1247.
  • Yoshikage (義 景; † 1255) was a son of Kagemori. He was Akitajō no suke and a member of the Hyōjōshū. After the death of Emperor Shijō in 1224, Fujiwara no Michiie (藤原 道家; 1192-1252) wished that his grandson, Prince Tadanori, would succeed him. Hōjō Yasutoki Hōjō Tsunetoki (北 条 泰 時; 1183-1242) was against it and sent Yoshikage to Kyoto to use Prince Kunihito as Emperor Go-Saga . In 1254 Yoshikage fell ill, shaved his head and called himself Ganchi . He died the following year.
  • Yasumori (泰盛; † 1285) was the third son of Yoshikage. He assumed all of his father's duties and titles. His daughter married Hōjō Tokimune (1251-1284) and became the mother of Hōjō Sadatoki (貞 時; 1270-1311). When the latter became Shikken in 1284 , Yasumori and his son Munekage initially enjoyed great renown. But Taira Yoritsuna, Shitsuji under Sadatoki, charged her with a planned attack on the young Shikken and in this way also informed the Shogun. Sadatoki believed these allegations and in 1285 had the entire Adachi family wiped out.
