Emperor Go-Hanazono reigned from [[1428]]-[[1464]]. His reign saw several major events in the history of the shogunate - including the murder of [[Shogun]] [[Ashikaga Yoshinori]] in [[1441]] by [[Akamatsu Mitsusuke]] - and several successions of shoguns.
He was the son of Imperial Prince Fushimi-no-miya Sadanari ([[Go-Suko-in|Go-Sukô-in]], a descendant of the [[Northern Court]]) and [[Fuseimon-in]] (daughter of [[Niwata Tsuneari]]). Though not directly of the lineage of [[Emperor Suko|Emperor Sukô]], he came to be the imperial heir after [[Emperor Shoko|Emperor Shôkô]] died without an heir in [[1428]]/7. Emperor Shôkô had an older brother, [[Ikkyu Sojun|Ikkyû Sôjun]], but since Sôjun had been a [[Zen]] monk for many years, and since his mother was descended from the [[Southern Court]], he was passed over for the succession.
Shortly after ascending to the throne, Go-Hanazono was taken on by [[Emperor Go-Komatsu]] as his adoptive nephew; Go-Komatsu served as his guardian. Go-Hanazono began ruling directly after Go-Komatsu died in [[1433]]. The most notable event of his reign was the [[Eikyo Rebellion|Eikyô Rebellion]], a conflict between [[Kamakura Kubo|Kamakura Kubô]] [[Ashikaga Mochiuji]] and [[Kanto kanrei|Kantô kanrei]] [[Uesugi Norizane]].
The [[Kakitsu Incident]] of [[1441]]/6 saw the murder of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori by Akamatsu Mitsusuke, which resulted in some dramatic changes in the power of the Imperial court.
Go-Hanazono is also famous for having reprimanded in [[1461]] Shogun [[Ashikaga Yoshimasa]] for focusing on the construction of a mountain villa during the height of a famine. He abdicated in favor of [[Emperor Go-Tsuchimikado]] in [[1464]]/7, but held onto power as a [[Insei|Retired Emperor]], until his death in [[1471]].
