The Kôno of [[Iyo province]] claimed descent from [[Iyo-Shinno|Iyo-shinnô]], a son of the [[Emperor Kammu]] ([[782]]-[[805]]). Powerful in Iyo Province for centuries, they supported [[Minamoto Yoritomo]] in the [[Gempei War]] ([[1180]]-[[1185|85]]) and played a notable role in the [[Mongol Invasions]] of the 13th Century. During the Nambokucho Period they at first supported the [[Ashikaga clan|Ashikaga]], then shifted their loyalty to the Southern Court. Their hold on Iyo Province was steadily weakened during the early Sengoku Period and at length their domain fell to the [[Chosokabe clan|Chosokabe]] of [[Tosa province]]. An ill-fated attempt by Kôno loyalists in [[1600]] to restore their clan to Iyo with [[Mori clan|Môri]] support ended in defeat at the hands of the [[Kato clan|Katô]].
