−The Hatakeyama were descended from [[Taira Takamochi]]. As early supporters of the Ashikaga, they became very powerful as shûgo during the Muromachi Period. In the aftermath of the [[Onin War|Ônin War]], the Hatakeyama were much diminished and now represented by a number of scattered branches, the most notable of which resided in [[Kawatchi province|Kawatchi]], [[Noto province|Noto]], and [[Mutsu province|Mutsu]]. The Kawatchi-Hatakeyama were represented at the start of the 16th Century by two main branches issuing from [[Hatakeyama Mochikuni]] (d.[[1455]]). The more powerful of the two derived from [[Hatakeyama Masanaga|Masanaga]] (d.[[1493]]). Masanaga had been adopted by Mochikuni when the latter had despaired of having any natural sons. When Mochikuni did in fact a sire a son ([[Hatakeyama Yoshinari|Yoshinari]]), he sought to disinherit Masanaga. A civil war ensued and the two branches were often at odds thereafter.

+==Mutsu-Hatakeyama==
+The Mutsu-Hatakeyama held Nihonmatsu Castle in Mutsu and saw its power gradually diminish over the course of the sengoku period, until they were looked upon by their neighbors the [[Ashina clan|Ashina]] as essentially vassals. Nonetheless, allied to the [[Kasai clan|Kasai]], they clashed frequently with the [[Date clan|Date family]] They were largely destroyed at the hands of [[Date Masamune]] in [[1586]].

+==Noto-Hatakeyama==
+This branch of the Hatakeyama, based at Nanao in [[Echigo province|Echigo]], was weakened by internal strife that finally brought about its ruin as an independant daimyô house in the 1570's.
