− | Yoshimori was a son of [[Mogami Yoshiharu]], who was a cousin of the lord of the [[Mogami clan|Mogami]], [[Mogami Yoshisada|Yoshisada]]. When Mogami Yoshisada died without an heir in [[1523]], the 2-year old Yoshimori was chosen to succeed him. He ruled from [[Yamagata Castle]] and clashed with the [[Uesugi clan|Uesugi]], [[Date clan|Date]], and numerous local houses to expand the Mogami domain. He supported [[Date Tanemune]] in the [[Tenbun no ran]] and his daughter [[Mogami Yoshiko|Yoshiko]] was married to [[Date Terumune]], father of the famous [[Date Masamune|Masamune]]. In [[1571]] Yoshimori indicated that he wished to name a young son as his heir, bypassing Mogami Yoshiakira. A faction of retainers loyal to Yoshiakira intervened to place Yoshimori in confinement and force the succession of Yoshiakira. | + | Yoshimori was a son of [[Mogami Yoshiharu]], who was a cousin of the lord of the [[Mogami clan|Mogami]], [[Mogami Yoshisada|Yoshisada]].
