Talk:Northern Court

Nice job!
I don't think I have ever seen another source explain so succinctly and clearly who the two sides in the Nanbokucho conflict were - that is, where the division of the two Courts originated and why they both had more or less legitimate claims to the throne. Thank you very much to all who worked on this to make it so informative and clear. LordAmeth 23:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I can't find the sequence number for the Akihito anywhere!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.43.39.52 (talk) 02:27, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

What area?
What part of Japan was controlled by the Northern Court? Which present day prefectures? --Apoc2400 (talk) 10:45, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

pretenders?
"pretenders to the throne?" This is not a very objective, value-free definition. It may have been labeled this in the Meiji period, but that label is not descriptive of historical fact, but rather is a nationalist, ideological representation of the past. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.194.201.74 (talk) 06:17, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Source on the current emperors of Japan being illegitimate?
"Still, since 1911, the Japanese government has declared the southern claimants were actually the rightful emperors despite the fact that all subsequent emperors including the then-Emperor Meiji were descended from the Northern Court, reasoning the Southern Court retained possession of the three sacred treasures, thus converting the emperors of the former Northern court into mere pretenders." This is stated in the article with no source, and it something as important as the emperors of Japan being illegitimate definitely should have a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markush100 (talk • contribs) 15:57, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
