==Alternation of Succession==

In [[1297]], the disputes between the two lineages came to a head. Exercising its power to involve itself in Court politics, the shogunate demanded that Emperor Go-Uda (Daikaku-ji line) abdicate the throne in favor of his cousin Emperor Fushimi (Jimyô-in line), against the wishes of Retired Emperor Kameyama (Daikaku-ji line). A succession dispute ensued, with some elements at Court supporting Kameyama, and others his nephew Fushimi.

In [[1287]], the disputes between the two lineages came to a head.

A succession dispute ensued, with some elements at Court supporting Kameyama, and others his nephew Fushimi.

The shogunate attempted to resolve the situation by suggesting a compromise, in which the succession would alternate between the two lines. Backed by the shogunate, Emperor Fushimi won the immediate succession dispute, and managed to have his son succeed him as [[Emperor Go-Fushimi]] (r. 1298-1301) before the succession alternated back to the Daikaku-ji line, with Emperor Go-Nijô in [[1301]].
