 | | Kiyomori supported Go-Shirakawa in the ensuing conflict, known as the Hogen Disturbance (Hogen no ran), one of the bloodiest and bitterest in Japanese history, and emerged victorious, partly because of the defection of Tameyoshi's son, Yoshitomo. |
 | | The initial rebellion was crushed, but Minamoto Yoritomo, Yoshitomo's son who had been spared in his youth, seized the opportunity to raise a revolt, in which he gained the support of many warriors in the outlying provinces. |
 | | Yoritomo was the third son of Minamoto Yoshitomo, who, in 1159, attempted to destroy Taira Kiyomori (scion of another dominant military family, the Taira clan) in the Heiji Disturbance, in Kyoto province. |
