The Kitabatake of [[Ise province]] were descended from the [[Emperor Murakami]] ([[926]]-[[967]]). They were ardent supporters of [[Emperor Go-Daigo]] during the early [[Nambokucho Period]], led as they were by the imperial loyalist [[Kitabatake Chikafusa]]. They remained loyal to the [[Southern Court]] throughout the Nambokucho and were influential in the Kinai region into the [[Sengoku Period]]. This branch of the Kitabatake was descended from Chikafusa's son [[Kitabatake Akiyoshi]]. They ruled an area in Ise province around present-day Ano and Tsu (20-30 miles SE of [[Kyoto]][). The Kitabatake fell under the influence of [[Oda Nobunaga]] after [[1569]] and within a decade had been supplanted.
