Genealogy (selection)
- Yorishige (頼 重) was the first to call himself Ishidō.
- Yoshifusa (義 房), a son of Yorishige, sided with Ashikaga Takauji , with whom he was related. He then became the Chinjufu Shogun of Mutsu . When Takauji started quarreling with his brother Tadayoshi, he followed Tadayoshi south. After Tadayoshi's death in 1351, he fought in the division of the court into a north and a south courtyard with Nitta Yoshioki (新 田 義興; † 1358) against the northern party and in 1352 participated in the capture of Kamakura. When the southern party was pushed back shortly afterwards, Yoshifusa withdrew to the province of Suruga . But when Ashikaga Yoshiakira had completely defeated Wada Masatada (völlig 正忠), Yoshifusa saw the difficult situation in which the legitimate dynasty found itself and again submitted to the Ashikaga.
- Yorifusa (頼 房), a son of Yoshifusa, continued the service under Tadayoshi after his quarrel with Takauji and inflicted defeats on the Northern Party in battles in the provinces of Settsu and Harima . When he was beaten by Takauji in Ōmi province , he retired to Kannonji Castle (観 音 寺 城). After the Shogun had retaken Kamakura, he submitted to him and joined the Northern Party.
