Minamoto no Yoriie was the second shogun of the [[Kamakura shogunate]].
A son of [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]] and [[Hojo Masako|Hôjô Masako]], he succeeded his father in [[1199]] and was formally named shogun on [[1202]]/7/23. Yoriie had five children by two wives. With a wife from the [[Kamo clan]], he had three sons: [[Minamoto no Kugyo|Minamoto no Kugyô]], Senjûmaru, and Zengyô. By a wife from the [[Hiki clan]], [[Wakasa no Tsubone]], he had a son, [[Minamoto Ichiman]], and a daughter, [[Take no gozen]].
[[Wakamiya-oji|Wakamiya-ôji]], one of the main boulevards running through [[Kamakura]], was named after Yoriie (''wakamiya'' meaning roughly ''young prince'').
He stepped down as shogun on [[1203]]/9/7 was succeeded by his brother [[Minamoto no Sanetomo]]. By the end of that year, the [[Hojo clan|Hôjô clan]] began its persecution of the Hiki clan, attacking the Hiki mansions and killing many prominent members of the clan, including Wakasa no Tsubone and Ichiman. Take no Gozen survived and later married Sanetomo's successor as shogun, [[Kujo no Yoritsune|Kujô Yoritsune]].
Yoriie died in [[1204]].
