Emperor Go-Sanjō
Emperor of Japan / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emperor Go-Sanjō (後三条天皇, Go-Sanjō-tennō, 3 September 1034-15 June 1073) was the 71st emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.[1] His reign started in 1068 and ended in 1073.[2]
This 11th century sovereign was named after Emperor Sanjō and go- (後), translates literally as "later." He is sometimes called the "Later Emperor Sanjō". The Japanese word "go" has also been translated to mean the "second one;" and in some older sources, this emperor may be identified as "Sanjō, the second," or as "Sanjo II."
