Chikahiro Oe - Chikahiro Oe

Japanese: 大江親広 - おおえのちかひろ

Years of birth: Years of birth and death unknown. Military commander in the early Kamakura period. Sakon no Shogen. Totomi no Kami. Musashi no Kami. Junior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade. Legitimate son of Oe no Hiromoto. His mother is said to be the daughter of Hida no Kami Minamoto no Hitoshi, and he initially took the surname Minamoto. He is also said to have been the adopted son of Minamoto no Michichika. From an early age, he was active as a close aide to the Shogun. He went to Kyoto as the Kyoto Shugo, and together with Nakahara Suetoki and Iga Mitsusue, he was in charge of negotiations between the Imperial Court and the military, supervising the Oban Yaku, and guarding the capital. The Azuma Kagami states that he went to Kyoto as the Kyoto Shugo on February 29, 1219, but it is highly likely that he was already in that position as early as 1214. After the assassination of Shogun Minamoto no Sanetomo in 1281, he became a monk and took the post of Buddhist name Ren'a, but remained in his role as Kyoto's protector. During the Jokyu War in 1290, he participated in the Battle of Kugose in Omi Province on the side of Kyoto at the command of the retired Emperor Gotoba, but was defeated. After the war, he was placed under house arrest in his fief, Sagae Manor in Dewa Province. The "Ippon Oe Family Genealogy" states that he died on December 15, 1241 (Ninji 2). <References> Tanaka Minoru, "About Ouchi Koreyoshi" ("Research on the Gokenin System of the Kamakura Shogunate")

生年：生没年不詳
鎌倉前期の武将。左近将監。遠江守。武蔵守。正五位下。大江広元の嫡子。母は飛騨守源仁綱の娘と伝えられ当初は源姓を名乗る。源通親の猶子であったともいう。早くから将軍側近として活躍。京都守護として上洛し,中原季時,伊賀光季らと共に公武交渉,大番役統轄,洛中警固などに当たる。京都守護としての上洛を『吾妻鏡』は承久1(1219)年2月29日とするが,建保2(1214)年にはすでにその任にあった可能性が強い。承久1年将軍源実朝暗殺後出家し法名を蓮阿とするが,京都守護にはとどまり,同3年の承久の乱に際しては,後鳥羽上皇の命にしたがい京方として近江国供御瀬の戦に参戦し敗退。乱後はその所領出羽国寒河江荘に謹慎する。『一本大江氏系図』には仁治2(1241)年12月15日没とある。<参考文献>田中稔「大内惟義について」(『鎌倉幕府御家人制度の研究』)
