Life

However, this peace ended in 1352. On this occasion, the Southern Court kidnapped the retired (northern ) Tennō Kōgon and Komyo, the Suko - tennō and Crown Prince Naohito, the son of Kōgon - tennō from Kyoto Yoshino. Thus there were in Kyoto no more Tennō.

For this reason, the Imperial Prince Iyahito 1352 with the support of Ashikaga Yoshi Akira Tennō was.

In marked by the dispute between the two rival dynasties Nanboku -cho - time public order was disturbed in Kyoto. The south courtyard conquered Kyoto back repeatedly. The Go - Kōgon tennō was repeatedly forced to flee from Kyoto in the province Ōmi and other places. Around the time when Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was appointed shogun in 1368, the power of Südhofes was weakened and restored order in Kyoto. However, the authority of the Tennō began to show their weakness.
