Miura Tametsugu

Miura Tametsugu was a late-Heian warrior of Sagami province, head of the Miura house and son of Miura Tamemichi, later regarded as the clan's real founder. He followed Minamoto no Yoshiie in the Later Three Years' War of 1083 to 1087 and won distinction there.

A war chronicle recounts that when the young Kamakura Kagemasa was shot in the eye, Tametsugu first trod on his face to pull out the arrow; when Kagemasa angrily resisted, he knelt to remove it instead. His son Yoshitsugu succeeded him.
