Emperor Go-SanjÅ
Go Sanjō (Japanese后 三条 天皇, go- Sanjō - tennō; * September 3, 1034 in Kyoto, † June 15, 1073 ibid ) was the 71st Tennō of Japan (19 April 1068-8 December 1072. ). His proper name was Takahito (尊 仁). He was a son of Go- Suzaku Seishi tennō called by his wife, who was the daughter of Sanjō - tennō. He was like a grandson of two Tennō Ichijō and Sanjō.
The mother, like the mothers of most Tennō, descended from the Fujiwara family. The last Tennō before go- Sanjō, whose mother was not a Fujiwara, the Uda tennō was 170 years ago. The Fujiwara family was against the coronation of Go- Sanjō, but since Go- Go- Sanjōs brother and predecessor Reizei had no son, he was the only legitimate successor.
Go Sanjō tried to reduce the power of the Fujiwara on the imperial house by abdicated in 1072 and began his Son as Tennō. He himself retired to a monastery, from which he directed his son and thus the true political power still paused. He founded so that the " rule of the emperor abdicated " ( InseI ), which was indeed outside the influence of the Fujiwara family, but in the long run led to greater independence of the provinces, and thus to weaken the imperial family.
