Hosokawa–Miyoshi Struggle for Kyoto (1508)

Timeline

1. 1507–1508Awa Province · AwaDriven out of Kyoto, Hosokawa Takakuni supported Ashikaga Yoshitari (brother of the former shogun Yoshihisa), assembled forces in Awa Province, and allied with Ouchi Yoshinori and others to plan the recapture of Kyoto and the deposition of the shogunal position held by Ashikaga Yoshizumi.
2. 1508Kyoto · KyotoHosokawa Takakuni led his army north from Awa into Kyoto, defeating and driving out Miyoshi Masanaga and the Ashikaga Yoshizumi faction he protected. Ashikaga Yoshizumi was forced to flee to Ōmi, and the Miyoshi clan's brief control of Kyoto came to an end.
3. 1508Kyoto Imperial Palace · KyotoHosokawa Takakuni installed Ashikaga Yoshitari in Kyoto as Seii Taishōgun once again; the shogunate was nominally restored, but real power lay entirely in the hands of the Hosokawa clan. This opened a chaotic situation of rival shoguns, Yoshitari and Yoshizumi, and further eroded the shogunate's prestige.
