Minamoto Yoshiie, a man who came to embody the spirit of the samurai and a legend even in his own time, was the son of [[Minamoto Yoriyoshi]] ([[995]]-[[1082]]). Yoriyoshi, the third generation of the [[Seiwa Genji]], was a noted commander, and in [[1051]] was commissioned to defeat the rebellious Abe family of [[Dewa Province]]. The Abe had for years held prominent posts in this distant, forbidding region, and had come to assume a certain autonomy. Like [[Taira Masakado]], the Abe had been tasked with subduing the northern barbarians, and, from the Court’s point of view, become barbarians themselves. They were in fact described as ebisu, a somewhat generic term which was also applied to the Ainu.
