Tadatsune gave up
when Minamoto no
Yorinobu was sent
to him, didn’t he?

After resisting for
about three years?
That feels kind of
sudden…

Lord Tadatsune is actually
one of our ancestors. Back
when Minamoto no
Yorinobu was Governor of
Hitachi, he defeated Lord
Tadatsune in battle. From
that time on, Lord
Tadatsune served him as
his lord. So when Yorinobu
came for him again, well...
it’s no surprise he
surrendered so quickly.

Wait... Minamoto?
You mean that
Minamoto?

Indeed. Minamoto no
Yorinobu was an
ancestor of Lord
Yoritomo, who later
founded the
Kamakura shogunate.
