Nagaya (長屋王 ''Nagaya-no-ōkimi'' or ''Nagaya-ō'') (684 – 20 March 729) was a politician of the Nara period and an imperial prince of Japan, a son of Prince Takechi (grandson of Emperor Temmu). His father was Prince Takechi and his mother Princess Minabe (a daughter of Emperor Tenji and Empress Gemmei's sister). He married Princess Kibi (his cousin, a daughter of Empress Gemmei and Empress Genshō's sister). He was substantially influential in politics owing to his membership of the Imperial family of the most noble birth, and there were no other competitive Imperial members at that time. A large residence was allocated to him in a prestigious part of Heijō-kyō. The Fujiwara clan were the most powerful competitors of Nagaya. Fujiwara no Fuhito, the leader of the house, had been the most powerful courtier in the court in the days when Japan was under the reign of Empress Genshō, a cousin of Nagaya's. After Fuhito's death in 720, Nagaya seized complete power within the court. This power shift was the source of later conflicts between him and Fuhito's four sons (Muchimaro, Fusasaki, Maro and Umakai) in the reign of Emperor Shōmu. In 729, the four sons charged him with a false crime and Nagaya received the death penalty. He was forced to commit suicide. His wife, Princess Kibi, and his children were killed at the same time. ==Wives and Children== *Princess Kibi (?-729) * *Prince Kashiwade (?-729) * *Prince Katsuragi (?-729) * *Prince Kagitori (?-729) *A lady of Ishikawa clan * *Prince Kuwata (?-729) *Fujiwara no Nagako, daughter of Fujiwara no Fuhito * *Prince Asukabe (?-?) * *Prince Kibumi (?-757) * *Prince Yamashiro(Fujiwara no Otosada) (?-763) * *Princess Kyōshō, a nun *Abe no Ōtoji * *Princess Kamo (?-?) *Princess Chinu * *Princess Madokata (?-774) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prince Nagaya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
