According to '' Kojiki '' and '' Nihonshoki '' Ankō was the second son of Emperor Ingyō . His elder brother Kinashikaru no Miko (Prince Kinashikaru) was the crown prince, but due to an incestuous relationship with his half-sister, Kinashikaru lost favour with the court. After an aborted attempt to rally troops against Ankō, Kinashikaru (and his half-sister) committed suicide. Ankō was assassinated in his third year of reign by Mayowa no Ōkimi (Prince Mayowa), in retaliation for the execution of Mayowa's father. |
