Ikeda no Noriyori

Ikeda no Noriyori was a local magnate of the Teshima district of Settsu Province who, around 1334, built Ikeda Castle at the foot of Mount Satsuki. The clan genealogy calls him a ninth-generation descendant of the Minamoto warrior Yasumasa.

He married a daughter of Naito Mitsuyuki, widow of Kusunoki Masatsura; after Masatsura fell in battle in 1348 she wed Noriyori, later giving rise to a claim that her son Norimasa was Masatsura's child.
