Succession conflicts

edit

There were no reference sources cited to validate the following account of the succession conflicts after the death of Emperor Tenji. For that reason, these sentences have has been temporarily removed from the main article text. This terse account, as currently written, is plainly non-neutral; and it cannot stand alone without more .... --Ooperhoofd 15:42, 28 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

"He reigned from the twelfth month fifth day, 671 to the seventh month 23rd day, 672."
"His father, Emperor Tenji had originally designated his brother, Prince Ō-ama, to succeed him as Emperor. But after the birth of Ō-tomo, he changed his mind. He began to become obsessed by the idea of his son succeeding him, causing Ō-ama to leave and travel into the mountains to become a monk."
"When Ō-tomo took to the throne after his Father's death as Emperor Kōbun, Ō-ama returned with an army (Jinshin incident)."
"The hard position was made to stand by his wife Princess Tōchi (Emperor Temmu's eldest daughter)."
"In the violence that ensued, Kōbun's army was beaten so he committed suicide and his uncle, Prince Ō-ama, took the throne as Emperor Temmu."
