Prince Shogun - Shinnou Shogun

Japanese: 親王将軍 - しんのうしょうぐん

A prince who was appointed Seii Taishogun by the Kamakura Shogunate. Also called Imperial Shogun or Miya Shogun. In 1252, the Sekke Shogun system was abolished, and Prince Munetaka, the son of the retired Emperor Gosaga, was appointed Seii Taishogun. After that, Prince Munetaka's son Prince Koreyasu (later Prince), Prince Hisaakira, the son of the retired Emperor Gofukakusa, and his son Prince Morikuni continued to hold the position until the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate. The real power of the Shogun was further weakened by the emergence of the Prince Shoguns, and the Hojo Tokuso family wielded power. In addition, Prince Moriyoshi and Prince Nariyoshi, the sons of Emperor Go-Daigo, who were appointed Seii Taishogun under the Kenmu New Government, can also be included in the Prince Shoguns.

鎌倉幕府の征夷大将軍に任命された親王。皇族将軍，宮将軍ともいう。1252年摂家将軍が廃され，後嵯峨上皇の皇子宗尊(むねたか)親王が征夷大将軍に任じられた。以後，宗尊親王の子惟康(これやす)王（のち親王），後深草上皇皇子久明(ひさあきら)親王，その子守邦(もりくに)親王と，鎌倉幕府滅亡まで続いた。将軍の実権は親王将軍の出現によりいっそう弱体化し，北条得宗家が権勢を振るった。なお建武新政権下で後醍醐天皇の皇子護良(もりよし)親王，成良(なりよし)親王が征夷大将軍に任命されたのも，親王将軍に含めることができる。
