The Oshu Fujiwara clan had an eerie presence as the rulers of Oshu throughout the Genpei War. They were a clan with deep ties to the Minamoto clan, who rose to dominance in Oshu after the Battle of Zenkunen and the Battle of Gosannen, in which Minamoto Yoritomo's ancestors, Minamoto Yoriyoshi and Minamoto Yoshiie, intervened, and were eventually destroyed by Minamoto Yoritomo. The third head of the clan, Fujiwara Hidehira, protected Minamoto Yoshitsune and showed a confrontational attitude against Yoritomo, but in the end, the Oshu Fujiwara clan was destroyed by Yoritomo's battles in Oshu. The head of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, Fujiwara Yasuhira, was killed and destroyed, but many of the family were expelled, and the descendants of Fujiwara Yasuhira continued to exist in small numbers. In this article, we will introduce the history of the Oshu Fujiwara clan over 100 years and the aftermath of their downfall over four generations. Reki Shock Twitter What day is it today?
