English: As a result, Takakuni HOSOKAWA lost the Battle of Katsuragawa in 1527, and Yoshiharu was ousted from Kyoto by those who were newly empowered, such as Motonaga MIYOSHI, a native bushi of Awa Province, and Harumoto HOSOKAWA.
Japanese: 大永7年（1527年）に桂川の戦いで細川高国が破れると、実権を掌握した阿波国の国人・三好元長や細川晴元らによって京を追われた。
English: In 1528, Yoshiharu fled to Omi Province (present-day Shiga Prefecture) to seek shelter under Tanetsuna KUTSUKI, a general of Sengoku period, and stood against Yoshitsuna ASHIKAGA, who was then called Sakai Kubo, who was the head of the Sakai-based municipal government.
Japanese: 享禄元年（1528年）には朽木稙綱(戦国武将)を頼って近江国（現滋賀県）に落ち延び、元長らが擁立した堺公方・足利義維と対立した。
English: Consequently, Motonaga was defeated by Harumoto HOSOKAWA in 1532, but Yoshiharu won the support of Sadayori ROKKAKU and his son Yoshitaka ROKKAKU, made peace with Harumoto and returned to Kyoto in 1534.
Japanese: そして、天文元年（1532年）に元長が細川晴元によって討たれた後、天文3年（1534年）には六角定頼・六角義賢父子の後援を得て晴元と和解し、帰京した。
English: However, Yoshiharu's relationship with Harumoto never stayed calm; on the contrary, it was always unstable as the shogun confronted his greatest supporter, lost in a battle against him, escaped to Omi Sakamoto in 1541, made peace with him and returned to Kyoto in 1541.
Japanese: しかし、その後も晴元と対立して敗れたのち、和解して帰京するといった行動を繰り返しており、天文10年（1541年）には近江坂本に逃れ、天文11年（1542年）には京都へ帰還。
English: In 1546, Yoshiharu fought Harumoto (in the Battle of Eguchi), lost and escaped to Omi Sakamoto, during which time he gave the shogunship to his son and heir to the throne, Yoshiteru ASHIKAGA, and helped the still juvenile shogun as his guardian.
Japanese: 天文15年（1546年）、義晴は晴元と対立して敗れ（江口の戦い）、近江坂本に避難したが、このときに嫡男・足利義輝に将軍職を譲り、以後は幼少の義輝の後見人となった。
English: Eventually, Yoshiharu came to terms with Harumoto and returned to Kyoto together with Yoshiteru, but Harumoto became antagonistic toward one of his senior vassals, Nagayoshi MIYOSHI.
Japanese: その後、晴元と和睦して義輝と共に京都に戻るが、天文18年（1549年）には晴元と晴元の重臣・三好長慶が対立。
English: On May 4, 1550, Yoshiharu died at Omi Ano (the present-day Anou, Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture).
Japanese: 天文19年（1550年）5月4日、近江穴太（現在の滋賀県大津市穴太(大津市)）にて死去。
English: 'Accounts of the Shiga District in the Province of Omi,' published in 1881, states that his tomb with tthe inscription 'Raichin-gyakushu' exists at Ano.
Japanese: しかし、「近江國滋賀郡誌」（明治14年（1881年））には、「頼珍逆修」と刻まれた彼の墓が穴太に現存すると記されている。
English: Tokimasa HOJO (1138 - Feb. 6, 1215) was the father of Masako HOJO, the wife of MINAMOTO no Yoritomo.
Japanese: 北条時政（ほうじょうときまさ、保延4年（1138年）-建保3年1月6日（1215年2月6日））は、源頼朝の妻北条政子の父。
English: His father was either Tokikata HOJO or Tokiie HOJO, both of whom were locals in Izu Province, and his mother was a daughter of Tamefusa BAN, a jyo (third-rank official) of Izu.
Japanese: 伊豆国の在地豪族の北条時方もしくは北条時家の子、母は伊豆掾伴為房の娘。
English: The HOJO family was a clan with TAIRA no Naokata, a Takamochi line of the Taira clan, as the supposed ancestor, and although the family was the head of the HOJO clan, whose base was the HOJO estate in Izu Province, Tokimasa himself might have represented a collateral line of the head family, according to one theory.
Japanese: 平氏高望流の平直方を祖と称する一族で、伊豆国北条庄を拠点とした北条氏の当主とも言われているが、時政はその傍流であったのではないかとの説もある。
English: Having served the local government in Izu for generations as an izu no suke (deputy chief), the HOJO clan, unofficially called HOJO no suke, was counted as one of Kanto's hakkai (or eight "suke") together with other families of the same suke rank.
Japanese: 代々、伊豆国の在庁官人にて北条氏は伊豆介を務め北条介と通称し、他の介級の家柄と並んで関東の八介ともいわれた。
English: However, since 'Azuma Kagami (Mirror of Azuma),' known as the chronicle of Azuma, simply used the title 'HOJO dono' for the rank of HOJO, it is unclear what the title 'Hojo no suke' in fact meant.
Japanese: しかし、「吾妻鏡」には「北条殿」と記されているのみでその「北条介」がどの程度のものであったのかは疑わしい。
English: Tokimasa is described as a 'heroic figure' in the Azuma Kagami, but nothing about 'suke' or official ranks of the central government is recorded in the chronicle.
Japanese: また「吾妻鏡」では時政のことを「豪傑」と記し、「介」や都の官位等は何も表記していない。
English: According to the constitution of the Yoritomo forces deployed for the Battle of Mt. Ishibashiyama, there is no definitive evidence to show that Tokimasa had overwhelmingly greater military power by comparison to other samurai lords.
Japanese: 保有武力に関しても、石橋山の戦いの頼朝軍の構成を見る限り時政が他より突出した戦力を有していたとは言いがたい。
English: It is also possible to hypothesize that the HOJO clan maintained local rule of a size neither large enough nor powerful enough to maintain a genealogical table by which to identify its ancestral origin.
Japanese: 北条氏は自らの出自を明らかにする系図も残せない程度の豪族であったと考えることも可能である。
English: There is another hypothesis that ancestors of the Tokimasa were of a powerful family with real connections in the imperial capital and that an ancestor a few generations back had married into a local ruling family in Izu, whereby the HOJO clan was established.
Japanese: その一方で、都で一定の官位を有していたが時政の数代前の先祖が婿入りして伊豆で北条氏を起こした都とのつながりを有する有力な豪族であったとの説もある。
English: Regardless, the lineage of HOJO prior to Tokimasa is veiled in mystery.
Japanese: いずれにしても、時政以前の系譜は謎に包まれているというのが実態である。
English: Nevertheless, his connection with Yoritomo brought good luck to his family, and the HOJO clan finally won the seat of Shikken, or the regency of the Kamakura bakufu.
Japanese: しかし、頼朝との結びつきにより家運が上昇し、北条氏は鎌倉幕府の執権となる。
English: When MINAMOTO no Yoritomo, of the Kawachi-Genji clan, was expatriated to Izu--a province held in the fiefdom of MINAMOTO no Yorimasa, of the Settsu-Genji clan--Tokimasa was ordered to keep an eye on Yoritomo.
Japanese: 河内源氏の源頼朝が、摂津源氏の源頼政の知行国である伊豆に流された時、頼朝の監視役となる。
English: Because his daughter Masako had become the wife of Yoritomo, Tokimasa joined the forces of Yoritomo as the Genji leader took up arms against the Heike clan in 1180.
Japanese: 娘の政子が頼朝の妻となった縁から、1180年（治承4）の頼朝の挙兵に同陣した。
English: Subsequently, Tokimasa served Yoritomo as his important vassal, and after TAIRA no Kiyomori, who headed a Taira family of the Ise-Taira clan, was killed in 1185, he was ordered by Yoritomo to go up to Kyoto and negotiate with the Imperial Government for permission to set up a shugo (military governor) and jito (military land steward) in Japan.
Japanese: その後は頼朝配下の有力重臣として活躍し、1185年（文治元）の伊勢平氏の平清盛一族（平家）の滅亡後、頼朝の命を受けて上洛し、守護と地頭の設置を認めさせるべく、朝廷との交渉に当たっている。
English: Although he received a certain amount of respect as the father-in-law of Yoritomo, there were many senior vassals who had far greater power.
Japanese: 頼朝の岳父として一定の敬意は払われたものの、遥かに規模の大きい有力御家人に囲まれていた。
English: Additionally, because Yoritomo wielded dictatorial power while keeping a power balance among those vassals, Tokimasa was never in a position to play a pivotal role in Yoritomo's samurai regime.
Japanese: また頼朝が彼らのバランスを取りながら独裁権をふるっていたため、政権の中枢を担うとは言えない立場であった。
English: When Yoritomo died in 1199, Tokimasa and his family members attempted to increase their power and killed many senior vassals, including Kagetoki KAJIWARA, Yoshikazu HIKI (a maternal relative of MINAMOTO no Yoriie), OE no Hirotada and Tadatsune NITA.
Japanese: 1199年（正治元）、頼朝が死ぬと北条氏の権力強化を図って、有力御家人であった梶原景時や源頼家の外戚に当たる比企能員らを大江広元・仁田忠常らとともに殺害した。
English: Further, in an attempt to elevate the family rank, Tokimasa used his position as a maternal grandfather of Shogun Yoriie and, through his daughter Masako, requested his appointment as a kokushi (provincial official), the title only granted to the first circle of the Minamoto family during the founding days of the Kamakura bakufu.
Japanese: さらに、北条の家格を上げんとして将軍の外祖父である立場を利用し娘・政子を経由して、鎌倉幕府草創当時源家一門にしか許されなかった国司への叙任を願う。
English: Tokimasa also removed MINAMOTO no Yoriie from the shogunship and killed him in Shuzenji Town, Izu Province, in 1204 in an attempt to drive away his political enemies.
Japanese: また、源頼家を将軍から廃したうえで1204年（元久元）に伊豆国修善寺町で殺害するなどして政敵を排除した。
English: He then enthroned the younger brother of the former shogun, Yoriie, as the successor and installed himself as the shogunal regent.
Japanese: そして頼家の後継者にその弟に当たる源実朝を擁して自身は自ら執権職に就いたのである。
English: In 1205, he eliminated senior vassals Shigetada HATAKEYAMA and his son based on the charge of treachery and tried to put Tomomasa HIRAGA, his son-in-law, in the position of shogun in cooperation with his second wife Maki no Kata (Lady Maki) in July of the same year (in the lunar calendar); however, his attempt was thwarted by the opposition of his son Yoshitoki HOJO and daughter Masako.
Japanese: 1205年（元久2）には有力御家人の畠山重忠父子を謀反の罪で滅ぼし、さらに同年旧暦7月には後妻の牧の方と共謀して娘婿にあたる平賀朝雅を新将軍として擁立しようとしたが、子の北条義時と政子の反対にあって失敗した。
English: Consequently, he was forced to enter the priesthood and retire (the Maki Incident) on the twentieth of the leap month of July.
Japanese: 旧暦閏7月20日、強制的に出家させられたうえで隠居の身分となった（牧氏事件）。
English: It is believed that Tokimasa, whose HOJO clan is described as a branch family of the Bando-Taira clan, offered cooperation to Yoritomo because he had foresight.
Japanese: 北条氏は坂東平氏の枝族にあたるとされるが、時政が頼朝に協力したのは、優れた先見性があったからであると言われている。
English: During the days of Tokimasa, the HOJO clan established a firm foundation in the Kamakura bakufu toward the achievement of greater power in future generations.
Japanese: この時政の時代に北条氏は鎌倉幕府における基盤を築き上げ、次代に飛躍する基礎を固めたのである。
English: Nevertheless, he does not have a good reputation as a historical figure, probably because of his faulty records in the late period of his life, including the assassination of Yoriie and the Maki Incident.
Japanese: しかし時政は頼家暗殺や牧の方事件などもあって晩節を汚したためか、あまり評判は良くない人物である。

Japanese: 日野勝光（ひのかつみつ、永享元年（1429年）-文明(日本)8年6月15日(旧暦)（1476年7月6日））は室町時代の公家。
English: He made arrangements to make his sister become the lawful wife of Shogun Yoshimasa, helped Yoshihisa ASHIKAGA obtain the shogunate and had his daughter marry Yoshihisa.
Japanese: 妹である富子を将軍義政の正室に入れ、足利義尚の将軍職就任に寄与して、さらに娘を義尚の夫人に入れる。
English: May 19, 1450: He was then promoted to Jushiinoge (Junior Forth Rank, Lower Grade) and to Uchuben (Middle Controller of the Right) and was appointed as Kurodo no to (Head Chamberlain).
Japanese: 1450年(宝徳2)3月29日、従四位下に昇叙し、右中弁に転任し、蔵人頭も兼帯。
English: The family was descended from the Kawachi-Genji branch of the Seiwa-Genji clan and, as members of the shogun family, served as vassals to the Kamakura Shogunate.
Japanese: 家系は清和源氏の一族の河内源氏の流れを汲み、鎌倉幕府においては御家人であると同時に将軍家一門たる門葉の地位にあった。
English: The family is sometimes referred to as the Genji-Ashikaga clan to differentiate it from the unrelated Ashikaga branch of the Fujiwara clan, which was established by descendants of FUJIWARA no Hidesato.
Japanese: 藤原秀郷の子孫の足利氏(藤原氏)（藤姓足利氏）に対して源姓足利氏という場合がある。
English: During the Heian period, MINAMOTO no Yoshikuni (a bureaucrat with the title of Shikibu no Tayu), who was the third son of MINAMOTO no Yoshiie (also known as Hachimantaro Yoshiie) and head of the Kawachi-Genji clan, owned the Ashikaga fief in the Province of Shimotsuke (present-day Ashikaga city, Tochigi prefecture) and the descendents of his second son, Yoshiyasu, took the name Ashikaga.
Japanese: 平安時代に河内源氏の棟梁、源義家（八幡太郎義家）の三男・源義国（足利式部大夫）は下野国足利荘（栃木県足利市）を領有、次男・源義康以降の子孫は足利氏を称する。
English: MINAMOTO no Yoshiyasu (Yoshiyasu ASHIKAGA), the second son of Yoshikuni, was a member of cloistered Emperor Toba's imperial guard (Hokumen no Bushi) and was involved in the Hogen Rebellion together with TAIRA no Kiyomori and MINAMOTO no Yoshitomo.
Japanese: 義国の次男・源義康（足利義康）は鳥羽天皇の北面の武士となり、保元の乱においても平清盛、源義朝と共に戦う。
English: His wife was FUJIWARA no Suenori's daughter, who was in fact a daughter of Suenori's eldest son, FUJIWARA no Noritada, and a niece of the mother of MINAMOTO no Yoritomo.
Japanese: 藤原季範の娘（実は季範長男藤原範忠の娘＝源頼朝の母の姪）を妻にしている。
English: His son, Yoshikane ASHIKAGA, joined MINAMOTO no Yoritomo's army in 1180 and fought in the Genpei War and the Battle of Oshu, rising to the rank of an important senior vassal of the Kamakura Shogunate and the membership of the first circle of the Shogunate family.
Japanese: その子足利義兼は治承4年（1180年）の源頼朝挙兵に参加して、治承・寿永の乱、奥州合戦などに参加し、鎌倉幕府の有力御家人としての地位を得、御門葉として源氏将軍家の一門的地位にあった。
English: In the Kamakura Period, the Ashikaga clan developed ties with the Hojo clan when Yoshikane married a younger sister of Yoritomo's wife, Masako HOJO.
Japanese: 義兼が頼朝の妻北条政子の妹を妻に迎えたのをはじめとして、鎌倉時代に代々北条氏と縁戚関係を結ぶ。
English: The Ashikaga clan served as Shugo (Governors) of Kazusa and Mikawa Provinces, possibly from the time of Yoshiuji ASHIKAGA, the third head of the family.
Japanese: 足利義氏(足利家3代目当主)以降のことと思われるが、上総国・三河国の守護職を務める。
English: The Ashikaga clan also gave rise to many branch clans, including the Houses of Hosokawa, Shiba, Shibukawa, Isshiki, Hatakeyama, Kira, and Imagawa, spreading all over the country.
Japanese: また細川氏、斯波氏、渋川氏、一色氏、畠山氏、吉良氏、今川氏などの庶流を分出し、一族は全国に広がった。
English: After the downfall of the Minamoto clan, the Ashikaga clan maintained a good, although subordinate, relationship with the Hojo clan, continuing to intermarry and being granted use of Chinese characters from the names of Hojo people.
Japanese: 源氏将軍家滅亡後も北条氏とは婚姻や偏諱を通じて良好な従属関係を維持してきた。
English: The fourth family head Yasuuji ASHIKAGA retired and entered the priesthood without any permission from the Shogunate (one theory, unsupported by evidence, says he did so because of a charge of rebellion), and the sixth family head Ietoki ASHIKAGA, born to the fifth head Yoriuji ASHIKAGA and a daughter of Shigefusa UESUGI, is said to have committed suicide because of his involvement in the Shimotsuki Disturbance.
Japanese: 第4代当主・足利泰氏は幕府に無断で出家（一説では、謀反の疑いがあったとされるが真偽は不明である）・引退し、第5代当主・足利頼氏と上杉重房の娘の間に生まれた第6代当主・足利家時は霜月騒動に関連して自害したと言われている。
English: Takayoshi Ashikaga, the eldest son of the seventh family head Sadauji ASHIKAGA by his wife, Lady Shakado, who was a daughter of Akitoki KANAZAWA of the Hojo family, died young so Takauji ASHIKAGA, Sadauji's son by Kiyoko UESUGI, the daughter of Yorishige UESUGI, who was the son of Shigefusa UESUGI, became the 8th head of the Ashikaga family.
Japanese: 第7代当主・足利貞氏は正室である北条一族の金沢顕時の娘・釈迦堂殿との間に長男・足利高義をもうけたが、高義は早世したため上杉重房の子・上杉頼重の娘・上杉清子との間にもうけた足利尊氏（高氏）が足利氏第8代当主を継いだ。
English: In 1333, Takauji joined, and contributed greatly to, the army raised by Emperor Godaigo to overthrow the Kamakura Shogunate.
Japanese: 尊氏は正慶2年（1333年）に後醍醐天皇の挙兵に応じて鎌倉幕府を倒す功績を挙げた。
English: After becoming disillusioned with Kenmu Restoration that returned power to Emperor Godaigo, Takauji set up the Muromachi Shogunate in Kyoto with Emperor Komyo as his nominal master and was appointed the Seii Taishogun (literally, "great general who subdues the barbarians").
Japanese: 尊氏は後醍醐天皇の建武の新政から離反した後、光明天皇を擁立して京都に室町幕府を興し、征夷大将軍に任じられた。
English: The Muromachi Shogunate, however, was always kept on the verge of collapse because of the disturbances caused by the antagonism between the Northern and Southern Imperial Courts until Takauji's grandson and third Shogun, Yoshimitsu ASHIKAGA, reunited the two courts.
Japanese: しかしその後は南北朝の動乱の中で室町幕府は常に存亡の危機に立たされ、尊氏の孫で第3代将軍・足利義満の時代になって南北朝合一を達成することとなる。
English: Yoshimitsu ASHIKAGA intentionally provoked important Shugo Daimyo (Lords) into rebelling against the shogunate (the Meitoku and Oei Rebellions) and by defeating them, reduced their power.
Japanese: 足利義満は明徳の乱、応永の乱などで有力守護大名を挑発しては討伐してその勢力を削減した。
English: He was then granted the title 'King of Japan' by the Ming Dynasty of China, establishing his authority as almost equal to that of the Emperor, thereby stabilizing his military government and leading to the heyday of the shogunate.
Japanese: そして中国の明王朝から「日本国王」として冊封を受けて天皇に迫る権威を確立するなどして、幕府の安定化と全盛期を築き上げた。
English: However, following the death of Yoshimitsu, the Shogunate's power gradually weakened, leading to the rise to power of the Shugo Daimyo (Japanese territorial lord as provincial constable).
Japanese: しかし義満が死去すると次第に将軍権力の弱体化、守護大名の台頭が顕著になって行く。
English: The sixth shogun, Yoshinori ASHIKAGA, attempted to reinforce shogunal authority by following his father's policies but his excessively harsh actions caused objection among his vassals.
Japanese: 第6代将軍・足利義教は父・義満の政治路線を受け継いで将軍権力の強化を行なったが、そのあまりに強硬的なやり方は周囲の反発を招いた。
English: When he was assassinated in the Kakitsu Incident, the dwindling of the Shogun's power and the decline of shogunate authority became apparent.
Japanese: 嘉吉の乱で暗殺されるに至って、遂に将軍権力の衰退と権威の失墜が露呈する結果となった。
English: The rule of the 8th Shogun, Yoshimasa ASHIKAGA, saw the outbreak of the Onin War, partly as a result of disputes over succession, and consequently the Muromachi Shogunate was left in control of only Kyoto.
Japanese: 第8代将軍・足利義政の時代には後継ぎ問題などをめぐって応仁の乱が発生し、室町幕府は京都だけを支配する一地方政権に転落した。
English: The tenth Shogun, Yoshitane ASHIKAGA, was forced to resign by Kanrei (shogunal deputy) Masamoto HOSOKAWA, and following shoguns became mere nominal figureheads with no practical authority and unable to maintain the title of Shogun without the support of powerful daimyos.
Japanese: 第10代将軍・足利義稙（義稙）は管領の細川政元によって将軍職を追われ（明応の政変）、以後の将軍は実権を奪われて名目的存在となり、有力大名の支持なくしては将軍の地位さえ保てなくなった。
English: Shoguns succeeding Yoshitane died young, but there was a slight restoration of power during the days of the thirteenth Shogun Yoshiteru ASHIKAGA.
Japanese: その後、足利将軍家では将軍の若死になども相次ぎ、第13代将軍・足利義輝の時代にわずかに将軍権力が復興される兆しもあった。
English: Yoshiteru, however, was assassinated by Hisahide MATSUNAGA and others in June 1565, and the title of Shogun became purely nominal.
Japanese: 永禄8年（1565年）5月に松永久秀らによって暗殺されてしまい、将軍は有名無実化した。
English: No shogun was appointed in the three years after Yoshiteru's assassination and, as such, the Muromachi Shogunate temporarily disappeared.
Japanese: なお、義輝暗殺後の3年間、室町幕府では将軍空位の時代が続き、一時的に幕府は消滅している。
English: In 1568, the younger brother of Yoshiteru, Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA, entered Kyoto with Nobunaga ODA, who made him the fifteenth Shogun.
Japanese: 義輝の実弟・足利義昭は、永禄11年（1568年）に織田信長に擁されて上洛し、第15代将軍となった。
English: Although they later fell out and, in 1573, Yoshiaki was expelled from Kyoto, marking the end of the Muromachi Shogunate.
Japanese: やがて信長と対立して元亀4年（1573年）に追放され、室町幕府は終焉を迎えた。
English: Motouji ASHIKAGA, was sent by his father, Takauji, to control the Kanto area and because he was based in Kamakura, came to be called the Kamakura Kubo (quasi-shogun).
Japanese: 尊氏の子で関東支配のために父によって派遣された鎌倉公方・足利基氏は鎌倉を中心として関東を支配した。
English: But after his death, his descendants repeatedly clashed with the Muromachi Shogunate in Kyoto until actual conflict finally broke out between the fourth Kubo Mochiuji ASHIKAGA and the sixth shogun Yoshinori ASHIKAGA (Eikyo Incident).
Japanese: しかし基氏の死後、その子孫は京都の室町幕府将軍家と対立・抗争を繰り返し、遂に第4代公方・足利持氏に至っては第6代将軍・足利義教と衝突する事態に至った（永享の乱）。
English: Mochiuji was defeated in this battle and forced to commit suicide on Yoshinori's orders, and the Kamakura Kubo was abolished.
Japanese: この戦いに敗れた持氏は義教の命令で自害を余儀なくされ、鎌倉公方家は滅亡した。
English: After the death of Yoshinori, the youngest son of Mochiuji, Shigeuji ASHIKAGA, whose life was spared by Yoshinori, was permitted to revive the position by Yoshimasa ASHIKAGA and became the 5th Kamakura Kubo.
Japanese: しかし義教の死後、義教によって助命されていた持氏の末子・足利成氏が足利義政より再興を許されて、第5代鎌倉公方となった。
English: Shigeuji, however, came into conflict with the Uesugi clan, who served as Kanto-Kanrei (Governor General of Kanto), and he fled Kamakura, relocating to Koga in the Province of Shimousa and assuming the title, Koga Kubo.
Japanese: しかし成氏は関東管領の上杉氏と対立し、鎌倉を放棄して下総国古河に移って古河公方と称した。
English: Infighting triggered by the death of Shigeuji caused the authority of the Koga Kubo to eventually deteriorate, and with the death of the 5th Kubo, Yoshiuji ASHIKAGA in 1583, the Koga Kubo came to an end.
Japanese: 成氏の死後、古河公方家では内紛が相次いで衰退し、第5代公方・足利義氏(古河公方)が天正11年（1583年）に死去すると、古河公方家は断絶した。
English: The Horigoe Kubo House, started by Masatomo ASHIKAGA, the younger brother of Yoshimasa ASHIKAGA, was destroyed by Soun HOJO during the rule of the second Kubo, Chachamaru ASHIKAGA.
Japanese: なお、足利義政の弟・足利政知から始まる堀越公方家は、第2代公方・足利茶々丸の時代に北条早雲によって滅ぼされた。
English: The Oyumi Kubo House, established by Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA, the second son of the 2nd Koga Kubo, Masauji ASHIKAGA, was also destroyed by Ujitsuna HOJO in 1538.
Japanese: 第2代古河公方である足利政氏の次男・足利義明から始まる小弓公方家も天文(日本)7年（1538年）に北条氏綱によって滅ぼされた。
English: Thus, the Ashikaga clan in Kanto were totally erased from the political scene by the Sengoku period (period of warring states).
Japanese: こうして戦国時代までに、関東足利氏は政治の表舞台からことごとく姿を消すこととなる。
English: Kunitomo ASHIKAGA, the grandson of Yoshiaki, was allowed by Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI, who united and ruled Japan after the collapse of the Muromachi Shogunate, to restore the Ashikaga clan, was granted a fief in Kitsuregawa in the Province of Shimotsuke and assumed the name of the Kitsuregawa clan.
Japanese: しかし義明の孫・足利国朝は室町幕府滅亡後、天下人となった豊臣秀吉に足利氏再興を許され、下野国喜連川に領地を与えられて喜連川氏を称した。
English: His descendants served the Tokugawa Shogunate as daimyo of the top rank, although their stipend was only 5,000 koku, and returned to the original name of Ashikaga after the Meiji Restoration.
Japanese: その子孫は江戸時代には禄高5000石ながら10万石格の国主大名待遇の家として存続し、明治以後足利氏に復した。
