Though the Minamoto clan founded the Kamakura shogunate, and the city, its control of the shogunate lasted only very briefly. After the first shogun, [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]], died in [[1199]], his widow [[Hojo Masako|Hôjô Masako]] named her father [[Hojo Tokimasa|Hôjô Tokimasa]] regent (''[[shikken]]''), and seized control over the shogunate. For the remainder of the period, the shoguns were largely pawns, or puppets, of the Hôjô, who exercised true political power. After the third Kamakura shogun, [[Minamoto no Sanetomo]], was assassinated in [[1219]], the Minamoto line of shoguns ended, and for the remainder of the period, Imperial princes and members of the court aristocratic [[Kujo family|Kujô family]] served as shogun.

The shogunate survived a conflict with the Imperial court [[1221|two years later]], known as the [[Jokyu War|Jôkyû War]], asserting and defending its power to interfere in the Imperial succession. By the end of the 13th century, the Imperial succession had split and alternated between two lines, the [[Daikakuji and Jimyoin lines|Daikakuji and Jimyôin lineages]]. The tension between these two lines increased after [[1297]], when the shogunate interfered again in the Imperial succession, demanding that [[Emperor Go-Uda]] (of the Daikaku-ji line) abdicate the throne in favor of his cousin [[Emperor Fushimi]] (of the Jimyô-in line), against the wishes of Retired [[Emperor Kameyama]] (of the Daikaku-ji line). This eventually led to the collapse of the shogunate as [[Emperor Go-Daigo]] fought to regain fuller control over the succession, and over governance in general, in the [[Genko War|Genkô War]] of the 1330s.
