Minamoto no Sanetomo was the third shogun of the [[Kamakura shogunate]]. The second son of [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]] and [[Hojo Masako|Hôjô Masako]], he succeeded his brother [[Minamoto no Yoriie]] to become shogun on [[1203]]/9/7. Sanetomo was famously assassinated by his nephew [[Minamoto no Kugyo|Minamoto no Kugyô]] in [[1219]].
Sanetomo married [[Bomon Nobuko|Bômon Nobuko]], a daughter of [[Bomon Nobukiyo|Fujiwara (Bômon) Nobukiyo]].
In [[1205]], rumors that [[Hojo Tokimasa|Hôjô Tokimasa]] was planning to have Sanetomo killed and replaced by [[Hiraga Tomomasa]] ended in Hiraga being killed and Tokimasa being forced to step down as ...., going into exile in [[Izu province]].
The year [[1213]] saw another disturbance, as [[Wada Yoshimori]] led a force in attacking the shogun's mansion, as well as those of some of his closest relatives and chief officials. This event, known as the [[Wada Conflict]] or Wada Disturbance, ended with the uprising being suppressed, however, without Sanetomo or any of his closest relatives or advisors being killed.
Sanetomo's famous assassination took place at [[Tsurugaoka Hachimangu|Tsurugaoka Hachimangû]], where the shogun and numerous members of his court had just completed a court ceremony. Sanetomo's nephew Minamoto no Kugyô famously hid behind a massive [[gingko]] tree just to the side of the main stairs of the shrine, springing out to attack Sanetomo. While some accounts make no mention of Sanetomo's guards or retinue otherwise, even those which do make no mention of how the assassin was able to attack and kill the shogun so quickly and easily without having to go through his guards. In a complex series of events, Kugyô was killed shortly afterwards.
Following Sanetomo's death, his mother Hôjô Masako - sometimes known today as "the Nun Shogun" - became ''de facto'' ruler, taking no official title but overseeing governance and administration until [[Kujo Yoritsune|Kujô Yoritsune]], a [[kuge|court noble]] from [[Kyoto]], was named shogun in [[1226]].
