GENEALOGY He was the eldest son of Imperial Prince Fushimi-no-miya Sadafusa (伏見宮貞成親王) ( 1372 - 1456 ). His mother was Yukiko (幸子) ( 1390 - 1448 ), daughter of Niwata ?? (庭田経有). His father was the 3rd of the Fushimi-no-miya line and grandson of the Northern Pretender Emperor Sukō , making Go-Hanazono the great-grandson of Sukō and 3rd cousin to his predecessor, Emperor Shōkō . He was also the great-great-great grandson of Emperor Go-Fushimi . This is the second most remote relationship between an emperor and his successor after that between Emperor Go-Komatsu (both the sixth Northern Pretender and the 100th in the main line) and his predecessor in the official line, Emperor Go-Kameyama , who was his fourth cousin twice removed.
LIFE Because the previous emperor, Emperor Shōkō had no son, retired Emperor Go-Komatsu needed to secure the Jimyōin inheritance against the Daikakuji line, before Emperor Shōkō died, he adopted a son out of the Fushimi-no-miya house, who became Emperor Go-Hanazono after Shōkō's death. Until 1433, when Go-Komatsu died, he ruled under him as he was Cloistered Emperor . After this point, there were about 30 years of direct imperial rule, until his abdication on August 21 1464 , when government by cloistered emperors resumed by himself. On January 18 1471 , he died. The Shōgun Ashikaga Yoshimasa , indulging himself in luxury, was chastised by the Emperor. ERAS OF HIS REIGN At 8 changes of era, Emperor Go-Hanazono's reign is tied with that of Emperor Go-Daigo for the record of having the most eras. |
