 Kamakura period Summary
Minamoto control of the bakufu ended with Yoritomo, however: After his death, the Hojo family, natal family of Yoritomo's wife, established themselves as regents for the Minamoto shoguns, thereby usurping control.
When he died suddenly in 1199, his son Minamoto no Yoriie (源 頼家) became shogun and nominal head of the Minamoto, but Yoriie was unable to control the other eastern bushi families.
There were no lands or other rewards to be given, however, and such disaffection, combined with overextension and the increasing defense costs, led to a decline of the Kamakura bakufu.

Through hereditary succession, Sanetomo's older brother Yoriie became Seii Taishogun in 1202, to only be stripped of the title a year later and put under house arrest for plotting against the Hōjō clan.
Sanetomo was never anything more than a puppet for his mother Hōjō Masako, who used him as a pawn in her war with Tokimasa- Tokimasa would try to depose his grandson a number of times, beginning in 1205, causing Sanetomo to fear for his life the rest of his days.
Sanetomo was assassinated on New Year's Day 1219 by his nephew Kugyō Minamoto (1200-1219) - son of the second Kamakura shogun Yoriie, at the steps of Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine in Kamakura, where his nephew served as the chief priest.
