Hiraga clan

Japanese: 平賀氏 - ひらがうじ

In the Middle Ages, this samurai family held territory in Saku County, Shinano Province. It began in the late Heian period when Moriyoshi, the grandson of Minamoto no Yoshiie, lived in Hiraga, Saku County, Shinano Province (Saku City, Nagano Prefecture). Moriyoshi's son Yoshinobu followed Minamoto no Yoshitomo during the Heiji Rebellion (1159), and sided with Minamoto no Yoritomo during the Jisho-Juei Civil War. When the Kamakura Shogunate was established, Yoshinobu was appointed Governor of Musashi, his son Koreyoshi (Ouchi clan) Governor of Iga, and Tomomasa Governor of Ise, and they were all highly valued. Tomomasa was the son-in-law of Hojo Tokimasa, but was killed in Kyoto in 1205 (Genkyu 2) for his complicity in Tokimasa's plot to support Tomomasa as Shogun.
