From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fujiwara no Nobunaga (藤原 信長; 1022 – October 14, 1094), third son of
Norimichi, was a
kugyo (
Japanese
noble) of the
Heian period. His mother was a daughter of
Fujiwara no Kintō. Although his father Norimichi was regent of
Emperor Go-Sanjo and
Emperor Shirakawa, Nobunaga could not become regent. After Norimichi's death, the position of regent was passed down the line of
Yorimichi, the first son of
Fujiwara no Michinaga. He became
Daijō Daijin in 1080, but his order of precedence was next to Nobunaga's cousin regent
Fujiwara no Morozane.
