GENEALOGY He was the second son of Emperor Kameyama . They were from the Daikakuji line.
LIFE By retired Emperor Go-Saga 's will, in 1268 , he became crown prince. Following the late emperor's will (Go-Saga died in 1272 ), in 1274 , he became emperor upon the abdication of Emperor Kameyama . The retired Emperor Kameyama ruled as Cloistered Emperor . During his reign, the Mongol Invasion by the Yuan Dynasty ( China ) and Goryeo Dynasty ( Korea ) occurred. The Mongols unsuccessfully invaded in 1274 and 1281 , turned back each time by a Typhoon known as the Kamikaze (神風). In 1287 , retired Emperor Go-Fukakusa , dissatisfied with the fact that his own lineage (the Jimyōin-tō ) did not control the throne, while that of his younger brother, the retired Emperor Kameyama (the Daikaku-ji ) did, persuaded both the Bakufu and the Imperial Court to compel the Emperor to abdicate in favor of Go-Fukakusa's son ( Emperor Fushimi ). After this time, the struggle between the Jimyōin-tō and the Daikakuji-tō over the imperial throne continued. After Go-Uda's abdication, his Daikakuji-tō controlled the throne from 1301 to 1308 ( Emperor Go-Nijō ) and again from 1318 until the Era Of Northern And Southern Courts (begun 1332 ) when they became the southern court (ending in 1392 ). Go-Uda was cloistered emperor during the reign of his own son, Go-Nijō, from 1301 until 1308, and again from 1318, when his 2nd son Go-Daigo took the throne until 1321 , when Go-Daigo began direct rule. In 1324 , he died. ERAS OF HIS REIGN |
