Emperor Go-Kameyama is generally regarded as the last [[emperor]] of the [[Southern Court]]. He abdicated in [[1392]] explicitly choosing to not be succeeded by a direct heir, in order to abdicate power to the [[Northern Court]] and end the lengthy [[Nanbokucho period|Nanbokuchô period]] of conflict between competing imperial lineages.
He took the throne in [[1383]], abdicated in 1392, and died in [[1424]]. [[Emperor Go-Komatsu]], who was already reigning as emperor of the Southern Court, continued to rule after Go-Kameyama's abdication.
He took the throne in [[1383]] and was forced to abdicate in 1392; [[Emperor Go-Komatsu]], who was already reigning as emperor of the Southern Court, continued to rule after Go-Kameyama's abdication. However, Go-Kameyama set himself up in [[Yoshino]] once again in [[1414]], declaring the re-establishment of the Southern Court.<ref name=smits>Gregory Smits, ''Maritime Ryukyu'', University of Hawaii Press (2019), 59.</ref>
Go-Kameyama died in [[1424]]. Southern Court supporters continued to fight through the 1420s-1440s, and the "revived" Southern Court only finally quieted down completely in the 1460s.<ref name=smits/>
