Hj Tokiyuki Hi Sorry for this unexpected visit but I wanted to discuss with you the article Hj Tokiyuki you wrote because something strange is happening there  You say   Shortly afterward Tokiyuki asked to be pardoned by the Emperor GoDaigo and formally entered into the service of the Southern Court fighting under the command of Kitabatake Akiie and later Prince Munenaga He also aided in the  recapture of Kamakura led by Nitta Yoshioki However when Nitta was pursued by Ashikaga Takauji and sought refuge in Echigo Province Tokiyuki fled to Sagami province where he was discovered and beheaded by forces loyal to the Ashikaga   Now Sansoms History of Japan on page  says in no uncertain terms Tokiyuki was killed in battle by Takauji I believe there can be no question that its the same Tokiyuki and both sources yours and mine give too many details for either to be simply wrong so I think they maybe using different sources that give conflicting versions of events In either case we should do something to clarify the situation If we cant solve the contradiction we should at least highlight the problem in a footnote Thanks
