ThE AFteR/v\atH: Two Emperors for the Price of One

                  - Go-Daigo fled to Mt. Yoshino in the south and set
                     up a "southern" imperial court and declared
                     himself the one true Emperor.  Now Japan had 2
                     dynasties.
                  - Ashikaga Takauji had to deal with this rival
                    court PLUS political infighting.  He ended up
                     ordering the death of his own brother.      
                 - This period of time is called the Nanbokucho, or
                    North and South dynasties.  The schizm would
                     last until 1392.
