History
The beginning of its glory started in GI0455, when Ashikaga Takauji ended the third sengoku period by unifying JAPAN, and gathered the Three Divine Artifacts to become the Emperor. The Ashikaga clan has since been the line of the shogun.

In GI0910, the Ashikaga House lost its power, which started the fourth sengoku period of JAPAN.

At one point it became a vassal under the Oda House during Oda's expansion. However, following Oda's decline, the Ashikaga seized the chance and became independent again.
