Hōjō Tokiyori

Hōjō Tokiyori (1227–1263), fifth Hōjō shikken, was the second son of Tokiuji, raised by his grandfather Yasutoki. He succeeded his brother Tsunetoki in 1246, crushed the Nagoe plot and sent Yoritsune back to Kyoto, and in 1247 destroyed the Miura clan in the Hōji Battle.

In 1249 he created the Hikitsuke courts, and in 1252 replaced Shōgun Yoritsugu with Prince Munetaka, the first imperial prince shōgun. Tonsured in 1256, he handed the shikken post to Nagatoki but kept real power until his death in 1263.
