Kanmu Heishi

Japanese: 桓武平氏 - かんむへいし

There are four lines of Prince Kazurahara, descendants of the princes given the surname by Emperor Kanmu (later split into Prince Takamune and Prince Takamochio), Prince Kaya, Prince Manda, and Prince Nakano, and Prince Takamochi's descendants flourished as samurai. The three generations of the Ise Heishi, Masamori, Tadamori, and Kiyomori, built the heyday of the Heike clan, and after their downfall, only the descendants of Yorimori remained as court aristocrats. The clans of the eastern provinces, such as the Hojo, Miura, Wada, Kajiwara, Toi, Hatakeyama, Chiba, and Kawagoe, are also descendants of the Heike clan, but since the end of the Heian period they had close ties with the Minamoto clan and played an active role at the heart of the Kamakura shogunate as vassals.

桓武天皇の賜姓皇子の子孫
葛原 (かづらはら) 親王流（のち高棟王流と高望王 (たかもちおう) 流に分かれる）・賀陽 (かや) 親王流・万多 (まんだ) 親王流・仲野親王流の４流あるが，高望王の子孫が武家として栄えた。平氏の全盛を築いたのは伊勢平氏の正盛・忠盛・清盛３代で，その滅亡後は頼盛の子孫のみが宮廷貴族として残った。北条・三浦・和田・梶原・土肥・畠山・千葉・河越などの東国の諸氏も平氏の流れであるが，平安末期以来源氏と関係が深く，鎌倉幕府の御家人として幕府の中枢で活躍した。
