In 1183 , as the rival Minamoto clan gained power, and following the defection of Emperor Go-Shirakawa to the Minamoto side, Munemori led his forces, along with the young Emperor Antoku west, to the Taira strongholds of Shikoku and Kyushu . By the end of the year, they'd set up a temporary Imperial Court at Yashima .
Munemori took part in nearly every battle of the war, and was captured at the Battle Of Dan-no-ura , and later executed in Kyoto in late 1185.
