The Miura of Sagami Province were descended from Miura Yoshiaki (d.1181), who was himself descended from Miura Takemichi (who claimed Taira ancestry). The Miura, while vice-governors of Sagami Province for the Taira, supported Minamoto Yoritomo in the 1180-85 Gempei War and afterwards enjoyed considerable influence. Perhaps for fear of their strong position, the [[Hojo clan (Pre-Sengoku Regents)|Hôjô]] regent Tokiyori but his line was almost wiped out when his son Yasumura was killed following a rivalry with the Adachi family. A minor branch existed into the early Sengoku Period, only to fall to the [[Go-Hojo clan|Hôjô]] in 1516.
