（持貞の悪を）訴えたところ、十二月に持貞は自害し、満祐は赦免されて帰洛した。
正長元年正月十八日、前征夷大将軍従一位内大臣源義持が薨去した。享年四十三歳。太政大臣を追贈された。勝定院と号する。応永元年より将軍に任じられ、同十五年より親政を行い、今年まで二十一年に及んだ。義量が早世したために継嗣がなかった。鎌倉の持氏には上洛の志があったが、それも叶わなかった。義持の弟・義嗣のほか、上に一人は仁和寺御室の法尊、一人は青蓮院准后義円、一人は梶井門跡義承、一人は大覚寺門跡義昭という者がいた。義持が病中に、管領・畠山左衛門督満家入道道端が石清水八幡宮にて籤を引き、青蓮院殿を義持の継嗣と定めた。三月十二日、青蓮院門跡…

As Yoshikazu had died young, there was no designated heir. Mochiumji of Kamakura harbored ambitions to go up to the capital, but this too proved impossible. Besides Yoshimochi's younger brother Yoshitsugu, there were four candidates: one was Hōson of the Ninnaji御室 (Omuro); another was Gien, the Jugo of Shōren-in; another was Yoshishō of the Kajii monzeki; and another was said to be Yoshiaki of the Daikakuji monzeki. While Yoshimochi was ill, the Kanrei Hatakeyama Saemon-no-kami Mitsie, the lay monk Dōtan, drew lots at the Iwashimizu Hachimangū shrine, and designated the Lord of Shōren-in as Yoshimochi's successor. On the twelfth day of the third month, the Shōren-in monzeki...
