Fujiwara no Korechiyo

Fujiwara no Korechiyo (dates unknown) was a Heian-period noble of the southern Fujiwara house, the son of Fujiwara no Kiyoka and deputy governor of Hitachi Province. In 939 he clashed with the local magnate Fujiwara no Haruaki, who had withheld taxes and seized provincial goods, and demanded that Taira no Masakado surrender the fugitive.

Masakado refused, stormed the Hitachi headquarters with about a thousand men, routed Korechiyo's three-thousand-strong provincial force and captured him along with the provincial seal. His son Fujiwara no Tamenori later helped destroy Masakado in 940.
