Timeline

  1. 1308Kyoto Imperial Palace · KyotoIn December 1308 Prince Kunihito acceded under the urging of retired Emperor Go-Uda, becoming Emperor Go-Nijō. The accession arose from the long confrontation between Go-Uda-in and Go-Fushimi-in over the crown prince; Go-Nijō represented a temporary victory for Go-Uda's line in dominating the court.
  2. 1309–1310Kyoto · KyotoDuring Go-Nijō's reign the court remained constrained by the rivalry between the two retired emperors and could not effectively end the succession deadlock. Go-Nijō died in August 1310 (September in the Gregorian calendar) at only twenty-five, without heirs, and the throne again fell into dispute between Go-Uda-in and Go-Fushimi-in.
