Life

In 1351, Ashikaga Takauji briefly returned to the allegiance of the Southern Dynasty, causing the Southern Court to briefly consolidate control of the Imperial Line. However, this peace fell apart in 1352. On this occasion, the Southern Court abducted Retired (Northern) Emperors Emperor KÅgon and Emperor KÅmyÅ as well as Emperor SukÅ and the Crown Prince, Imperial Prince Naohito, the son of Emperor KÅgon, from Kyoto to Yoshino, producing a state of affairs in which there was no Emperor in Kyoto.

Because of this, Imperial Prince Iyahito became emperor in 1352 with the support of Ashikaga Yoshiakira.

During this period, the Era of the Northern and Southern Courts, because of the antagonism between the two competing dynasties, public order in Kyoto was disturbed. The Southern Court repeatedly recaptured Kyoto. Emperor Go-KÅgon was forced to repeatedly flee from Kyoto to Åmi and other places. Around the time that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was named ShÅgun (1368), the Southern Courts power weakened, and order was restored to Kyoto. Also around this time, the Emperor's authority began to show its weakness.

On April 9, 1371, he abdicated in favor of his son, who became the Northern Pretender Emperor Go-En'yÅ«. He continued to rule as Cloistered Emperor until he died of illness on March 12, 1374.
