	Nitta Yoshisada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Long an enemy of Ashikaga Takauji, Nitta Yoshisada is often blamed for the split between the Northern and Southern Courts, as he fought against the Ashikaga and for the Emperor Go-Daigo.
		This rivalry came largely from the fact that the Ashikaga were ranked above the Nitta, despite their being descended from a younger ancestor; since the ancestors of the Nitta did not fight alongside their Minamoto cousins in the Genpei War, they were never accorded power or prestige at Kamakura.
		Following the fall of Kamakura (and the Hōjō regency), Nitta was appointed Governor of Echigo and Vice-Governor of Harima and Kozuke Provinces, as Emperor Go-Daigo redistributed the Hōjō lands.

	Nitta clan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The common ancestor of the Nitta, Minamoto no Yoshishige, was the elder brother of Minamoto no Yoshiyasu, the common ancestor of the Ashikaga clan.
		The Nitta clan rose to importance in the early 13th century; they controlled Kozuke Province, and had little influence in Kamakura (the capital of the shogunate) because their ancestor, Minamoto no Yoshishige had not joined his fellow clansmen in the Genpei War, a century earlier.
		The Nitta clan played an important role once again, allying with the Date clan and the Southern Courts, during the Nanboku-cho wars of the early 15th century.
