Minamoto no Yoriyoshi

Japanese: 源頼義 - みなもとのよりよし
Minamoto no Yoriyoshi

A military commander in the mid-Heian period. Son of Yorinobu. In 1031 (Chogen 4), following his father, he put down the rebellion of Taira Tadatsune. He served as the judge deputy to Koichijoin (Prince Atsumi), and in 1036 he became the governor of Sagami Province due to his achievements, and controlled the warriors of the eastern provinces. In 1051 (Eisho 6), when Abe no Yoritoki (Yoriyoshi) of Mutsu rebelled, Yoriyoshi went to pacify the province as the governor of Mutsu. Yoritoki surrendered, and in 1053 (Tenki 1), Yoriyoshi became the Chinjufu Shogun, but in 1056, Yoritoki rebelled again. The following year, Yoriyoshi killed Yoritoki, but struggled against the resistance of the Abe clan led by Yoritoki's son Sadatō. With the help of the Kiyohara clan of Dewa, Yoriyoshi finally killed Sadatō and wiped out the Abe clan (the Zenkunen War) in 62 (Kōhei 5). For this achievement, the following year, he was promoted to Junior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade, and Governor of Iyo. His wife was the daughter of Taira Norikata.

平安中期の武将。頼信(よりのぶ)の子。1031年(長元4)父に従い、平忠常(ただつね)の乱を鎮定した。小一条院(こいちじょういん)(敦明(あつあきら)親王)の判官代(ほうがんだい)として仕え、功により36年相模守(さがみのかみ)となり、東国の武士を従えた。51年(永承6)陸奥(むつ)の安倍頼時(あべのよりとき)(頼良(よりよし))が背くと、頼義は陸奥守として鎮撫(ちんぶ)に赴いた。頼時は降服し、53年(天喜1)頼義は鎮守府将軍となったが、56年に頼時はふたたび反乱を起こした。翌年、頼義は頼時を討ったが、頼時の子貞任(さだとう)を中心とする安倍氏の抵抗の前に苦戦し、出羽(でわ)の清原(きよはら)氏の援助を得て62年(康平5)やっと貞任を討ち、安倍氏を滅ぼし(前九年の役)、その功により翌年、正四位下、伊予(いよ)守となった。妻は平直方(なおかた)の娘。
