 rly Medieval Japan\n\nWhen the third shogun\, Minamoto no Sanetomo\, was m
 urdered by his own nephew in 1219\, many believed it to be an isolated act
  brought on by the crazed nephew's desire for vengeance. But the assassina
 tion had profound consequences for Japan's first warrior government\, the 
 Kamakura shogunate (1185-1333). It brought an end to the direct line of Mi
 namoto shoguns and created a crisis in leadership that encouraged the impe
 rial court in Kyoto to declare war on Kamakura just two years later. Was S
 anetomo’s murder a simple case of revenge\, or was his nephew manipulate
 d by those seeking a shift in the balance of power? By carefully analyzing
  key primary sources from the thirteenth century\, this lecture reassesses
  the motivations of key figures and highlights the fragility of warrior go
 vernment as it searched for legitimacy in its first few decades.\n\nEthan 
 Segal is Associate Professor of History and Chair of the Japan Council at 
 Michigan State University.  He is the author of Coins\, Trade\, and the St
 ate: Economic Growth in Early Medieval Japan (Harvard\, 2011) as well as a
 rticle and book chapters\, including most recently “Teaching Japanese Es
 tates: Old Challenges and New Opportunities” in Land\, Power\, and the S
 acred: The Estate System in Medieval Japan (Hawaii\, 2018).\n\nSponsored b
