Meitoku

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meitoku (明徳) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. year name) of the Northern Court during the Nanboku-chō period after Kōō and before Ōei. This period started in March 1390 and ended in July 1394.[1] After October 1392, Meitoku replaced the Southern Court's nengō (Genchū).[2] The pretender in Kyoto was Emperor Go-Komatsu (後小松天皇, Go-Komatsu-tennō)[3] Go-Komatsu's Southern Court rival in Yoshino until 1392 was Emperor Go-Kameyama (後亀山天皇, Go-Kameyama-tennō)..[4]
