Emperor Rokujō

Rokujō (1164–1176), the infant son of Emperor Nijō, was named crown prince before his first birthday and enthroned in 1165 at eight months old, when his dying father abdicated. His grandfather, retired Emperor Go-Shirakawa, ruled throughout.

In 1168 the Taira pressed for his removal, and Go-Shirakawa deposed him for his uncle Takakura. He died of dysentery in 1176 at the age of eleven, leaving neither consort nor children.
