	Minamoto no Yoritomo Summary
		By the 12th century, this emergent warrior class was dominated by two great clans, the Minamoto and the Taira, both of which traced their descent from the imperial family itself--that is, from former princes who had gone out to the provinces and had settled there.
		Beginning in 1180, several prominent Minamoto leaders, including Yoritomo, were encouraged by growing signs of discontent with the rule of the Taira in Kyoto to rise in arms against them.
		Even during the period from 1183 to 1185, when Minamoto armies drove the Taira from Kyoto to final destruction at the battle of Dannoura in the Shimonoseki Strait, Yoritomo himself remained in the eastern provinces to supervise the overall strategy of victory and to establish governing offices to exercise the powers that he had acquired.
