His proper name was Atsuhira ( 敦 成 親王 ).

He was the second son of Ichijō- tennō and the older son of two sons of Empress Fujiwara no Shoshi, whose father was Fujiwara no Michinaga . The wife of Go-Ichijōs was also a daughter of Michinaga.

During his reign, Michinaga had real power at court. He used the title of a Sesshō ( 摂 政 , dt. Regent (for a minor / female emperor) ). In 1017 he handed this post over to his heir Fujiwara no Yorimichi (990-1074), even if Michinaga remained the real center of power for a long time.

Go-Ichijō died on May 15, 1036. He was succeeded by Go-Suzaku .
