若狹國
Over time, many of these smaller fiefs came to be dominated by the "shugo", constables who were administrators appointed by the shogunate to oversee the provinces. Resentful and mistrustful of the interference of government officials, people under their control banded together into leagues called "ikki". The uprisings that resulted, particularly when the "shugo" tried to seize control of entire provinces, were also called "ikki"; some of the largest and most famous took place in Wakasa Province in the 1350s.
