[edit] Change of era

Juei gannen (寿永元年, Juei gannen^?); 1182: The new era name was created to mark an event or a number of events. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in Yōwa 2, on the 27th day of the 5th month of 1182.^[2]

[edit] Events of the Juei era

Juei 1 (1182): The entire country suffers a famine.^[3]
Juei 2, 25th day of 7th month (1183): The Heike flee the capital with Emperor Antoku and Three Sacred Treasures.^[4]
Juei 2, on the 20th day of the 8th month (1183): In the 3rd year of Antoku-tennō's reign (安徳天皇25年), the emperor fled the capital rather than give in to pressures for his abdication. In Antoku's absence, the cloistered former-Emperor Go-Shirakawa then elevated his young brother by decree; and the young child was given the acceptance of abdication (juzen) rites.^[5] The anti-Taira faction intended that the succession (‘‘senso’’) was received; and shortly thereafter, Emperor Go-Toba is said to have acceded to the throne (‘‘sokui’’).^[6]
Juei 2, 20th day of 8th month (1183): Emperor Go-Toba is enthroned without the imperial regalia.^[4]
Juei 2, on the 20th day of the 8th month (1183): Go-Toba is proclaimed emperor by the Genji; and consequently, there were two proclaimed emperors, one living in Heian-kyō and another in flight towards the south.^[7]
Juei 3, 2nd month (1184): Cloistered Emperor Go-Shirakawa orders letter to be written to the Heike demanding the restoration or return of the imperial regalia.^[4]
