Fujiwara no Yasuhira
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fujiwara no Yasuhira (藤原 泰衡; 1155 - 1189) was the fourth ruler of Northern Fujiwara in Mutsu Province, Japan, the second son of Hidehira. Against his father's will, he first hid Yoshitsune in escape but later killed him, fearing the possibility of Yoritomo's intervention. In 1189 he was defeated by Yoritomo's forces, an event that marked the end of Northern Fujiwara.
