genealogy

Sasaki Takatsuna
  • Nariyori ( 成 頼 ), grandson of Masanobu, was the first to take over the family name Sasaki from his fiefdom in Gamō District in Ōmi Province .
  • Hideyoshi ( 秀 義 ; 1112–1184), a descendant of Nariyoris, was adopted by Minamoto no Tameyoshi ( 源 為 義 ; 1096–1156) when he was 13 years old. He later married his daughter. During the Hōgen rebellion in 1156 he fought under Minamoto no Yoshitomo ( 源 義 朝 ; 1123-1160) and besieged the palace of Emperor Shirakawa . During the Heiji Rebellion in 1159, he supported Minamoto no Yoshihira ( 源 義 平 ; 1140–1160) and helped him to resist Taira no Shigemori ( 平 重 盛 ; 1138–1179). But after Yoshitomo's death he had to flee. He intended to Fujiwara no Hidehira ( 藤原 秀 衡 ; 1122? –1187) for protection in theRequesting Mutsu Province but stopped in Shibuya, Sagami Province . His master Shibuya Shigekuni ( 渋 谷 重 国 ) gave him his daughter to wife, who then became the mother of Yoshikiyo. Hideyoshi stayed at the place for twenty years, and when Minamoto no Yoritomo rose against the Taira, he and his four sons sided with it in 1180. He fell in battle near Aburahi (Provinzmi province ) during a campaign against the remains of the Taira of Iga and Ise .
  • Sadatsuna ( 定 綱 ; 1142–1205), eldest son of Hideyoshi and the daughter of Tameyoshis, took part in the fighting under Yoritomo. On the instructions of Hōjō no Tokimasa, he attacked the governor of the province of Izu , Taira no Kanetaka, and defeated him. After the battle of Ishibashiyama in 1181 he sought refuge with Shigekuni in Shibuya, where he lived with his father for a long time. When Yoritomo Satake attacked Hideyoshi ( 佐 竹 秀 義 ), Sadatsuna joined him in the siege of Kanasa Castle ( 金砂 城 -jō ) in Hitachi Province . As a reward, he received Sasaki again in Ōmi province, which had been taken from his father. He received the whole province as Shugo (military governor), which his descendants kept for more than 300 years. As a result of a dispute over the Hie Shrine , he was exiled to Satsuma Province , but recalled after four years. He was also Shugo of Nagato , Iwami and Oki . - Sadatsuna is the ancestor of the Rokkaku , Kuroda , Kutsuki , Kyōgoku and Amako families .
  • Tsunetaka ( 経 高 ; † 1221), Hideyoshi's second son and, in contrast to the other sons of a woman from the Utsunomiya family, was named Shugo by Awaji , Awa and Tosa for his services , but the Shogunate returned to him in 1200 for misconduct withdrawn. He then became a brief monk under the name Keiren ( 経 蓮 ) and switched to the side of the emperor by attacking rebellious monks of Enryaku-ji on the orders of the emperor in 1203 and taking his side during the Jōkyū rebellion in 1221. After the defeat of the imperial side, he was spared Hōjō no Yasutoki ( 北 条 泰 時 ; 1183-1248), but committed suicide.
  • Moritsuna ( 盛 綱 ; * 1151), Hideyoshi's third son, took part in the battles against the Taira on the side of Yoritomo. Then he accompanied Minamoto no Noriyori ( 源 範 頼 ; 1156–1193) on his expedition to the west. When the Minamoto reached Fujito ( 藤 戸 ), they found Taira no Yukimori ( 平 行 盛 ; † 1185) trapped on the Kojima Peninsula in Bizen Province . Moritsuna found a ford, blasted ahead, and his samurai followed him. So he won the battle in 1185. As a reward, he received the area of ​​Kojima, as well as the titles Echigo no shugo and Iyo no shugo. After Yoritomo's death, he shaved his head (i.e. became a monk) and called himself Sainen ( 西 念 ). He later returned to the political stage when he defeated Jō Sukemori ( 城 資 盛 ) in Kōzuke Province in 1201 and was involved in the subjugation of Kyoto Shugo Hiraga Tomomasa in 1205 .
  • Takatsuna ( 高 綱 ; † 1214), Hideyoshi's fourth son, was an important companion in Minamoto no Noriyori's campaign against Kiso Yoshinaka. In 1184, at the Battle of Ujigawa, there was an often received friendly competition with Kajiwara Kagesue as to who could lead the first attack. He was named Shugo of Nagato and Bizen Provinces. In 1195 he shaved his head, called himself Saikyū ( 西 入 ) and retired to the Kōya monastery . According to some sources, he is said to have been a student of the founder of the Jōdo-Shinshū , Shinran , under the religious name Ryōchi ( 了 智 ) .
  • Nobutsuna ( 信 綱 ; † 1242), Sadatsuna's son, fought during the Jōkyū Rebellion in 1221 on the side of Hōjō no Yasutokis, whose sister was his Nobutsunas wife. After his older brother Hirotsuna ( 広 綱 ), who was on the opposing side, was executed, Nobutsuna took over his title as Shugo from Ōmi. In 1227 he was appointed Kebiishi and in 1231 received the honorary title of Ōmi no kami . He finally retired to the Kōya monastery under the order name 虚 仮 .
  • Yasutsuna ( 泰 綱 ; 1213–1276), Nobutsuna's son, is the ancestor of the Rokkaku. He was a Kebiishi and had the honorary title of Iki no kami .
  • Takauji ( 高氏 ; 1306-1373), descendant of Sadatsuna, served Hōjō no Takatoki and then Shōgun Ashikaga Takauji . He participated in the 1348 battle of Shijō-nawate against Kusunoki Masatsura ( 楠木 正 行 ; 1326-1348), supported Ashikaga Yoshiakira , and the campaigns against the southern court. For his services he was named Shugo by Kazusa , Ōmi, Izumo , Oki and Hida . Takauji was skilled in renga (chain poetry), tea ceremonies and ikebana and also liked to show this, which is why he was referred to as a "dissolute daimyō " ( 婆娑 羅 大名 basara daimyō ). He is also known by his religious name Dōyo ( 道 誉 / 導 誉 ). Takauji is the ancestor of the Kyōgoku and the Amako.
