Fujiwara no Yoritō

Fujiwara no Yoritō (died 1030) was a mid-Heian noble, the son of Fujiwara no Tokiakira. After beginning as a literature student he served as fifth-rank chamberlain and imperial diarist, then as a police magistrate, reaching junior fifth rank in 1013.

Around 1017 he was made governor of Tamba. In 1019 its peasants protested his abuses at the Yōmeimon gate, and he sent mounted soldiers to pursue them, drawing a reprimand from Fujiwara no Michinaga. He later governed Mino and was named middle controller of the right in 1029, and died in 1030.
