Genealogy

Tosa-Ichijō clan

The Tosa-Ichijō clan (土佐一条氏), a cadet branch of the Ichijō family, was established during the chaos of Ōnin War. In 1475, Ichijō Norifusa, the 9th head of the family, fled from Kyoto to Tosa Province, where one of the fiefdoms the family held by the time; some descendants of Norifusa stayed in Tosa for generations. The family, however, eventually lost control of Tosa during the reign of Ichijō Kanesada since 1575. The following is the list of the heads of the Tosa-Ichijō clan: In 1902, Ichijō Sanemoto (一条実基, 1901-1972), eldest son of Ichijō Saneteru (25th head of Ichijō) and his second wife, became a baron, in name of revival for the Tosa-Ichijō clan. Baron Ichijō Sanemoto later married a British woman, Tess Snare (1900-1982), in 1928.
