Takanori Kyogoku

Japanese: 京極高詮 - きょうごく・たかのり

Year of birth: Bunwa 1/Shohei 7 (1352)
A shugo daimyo during the Nanboku-cho and Muromachi periods. His posthumous name was Jyotaka. He was the son of Takahide and the 7th head of the Kyogoku clan. After Rokkaku Ujiyori, the heir to the Sasaki clan, died in 1370, Takanobu was appointed shugo of Omi Province (Shiga Prefecture) as the guardian of his eldest son, Kamejumaru (Rokkaku Mitsutaka). However, he was soon driven out of the Rokkaku clan and became head of the Kyogoku clan. It is believed that the Kōryaku Coup (1379) involving his father Takahide had a major influence on this series of problems with the family headship. Takanobu was made shugo of Izumo, Oki, Hida, and Iwami provinces, and was also appointed as a member of the Hyojōshū and head of the Samurai Dōkoro, giving him authority within the shogunate. The foundation of the Kyogoku clan as a powerful shugo was built by three generations: his grandfather Doyō, his father Takahide, and Takanobu. <References> Hideo Uno, "On the Kyogoku clan, the guardian clan during the period of the Northern and Southern Courts," Vol. 1 (Shiho, No. 14)

南北朝・室町時代の守護大名。法名浄高。高秀の子で,京極家7代目を継ぐ。佐々木家の嫡流六角氏頼が応安3/建徳1(1370)年に死去したのち,その嫡子亀寿丸(六角満高)の後見人として近江国(滋賀県)守護に補任された。しかし程なく六角家を追われ,京極家の家督を継ぐこととなった。この一連の家督問題には,父高秀にかかわる康暦の政変(1379)が大きく影響していたものと考えられる。高詮は出雲,隠岐,飛騨,石見の各国守護となる一方,評定衆,侍所頭人にも就任し,幕府内部での権限を有した。京極氏の有力守護としての基盤は,祖父導誉,父高秀,そして高詮の3代によって築かれたのである。<参考文献>宇野日出生「南北朝期における守護京極氏について」上(『史朋』14号)
