Nose clan

Japanese: 能勢氏 - のせうじ

A medieval warrior from Settsu. A descendant of the Seiwa Genji clan, the Tada Genji clan. It is said that the clan began in the 12th century when Tada Yoritsuna's grandson Kunimoto ruled over Nose County in Settsu, but since a vassal of the Nose clan (Nose Hangan-dai) seen in the early Kamakura period is thought to be Kunimoto's son Kuniyoshi, it is believed that the clan was already calling itself the Nose clan at that time. In 1231 (Kanki 3), the shogunate guaranteed him the position of land steward of Tajiri Manor in Nose County, and his name appears as a vassal of Tada-in around the same time, so we can see that he was building up his influence in Hokusetsu with Tajiri in Nose County as his base.

Japanese:

摂津の中世武士。清和源氏頼光流で多田源氏の一族という。12世紀ごろ多田頼綱の孫国基が摂津能勢郡を領したのに始まると伝えるが，鎌倉初期にみえる御家人〈能瀬判官代〉は国基の子国能と思われるので，このころには能勢氏を称していたことがうかがわれる。1231年(寛喜3)幕府より能勢郡田尻荘地頭職を保証されており，同じころ多田院御家人としてもその名がみえるので，能勢郡田尻を本拠として北摂に勢力を養っていたことが知れる。
