==Events of the ''Jōkyū'' era==
* '''February 12, 1219''' (''Jōkyū 1, 26th day of the 1st month''): Shōgun [[Minamoto no Sanetomo|Sanetomo]] was assassinated on the steps of [[Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū]] in [[Kamakura, Kanagawa|Kamakura]]. The 40 years during which [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]], [[Minamoto no Yoriie]] and Minamoto no Sanetomo were successive heads of the [[Kamakura shogunate]] was sometimes called "the period of the three shōguns."<ref>Titsingh, [https://books.google.com/books?id=18oNAAAAIAAJ&pg=PP9  p. 235.] There is a scholarly discrepancy in the specific date of the assassination -- on the 26th day of the 1st month of the 1st year of Jōkyū (Tuesday, February 12, 1219) according to Titsingh; Murray, [https://books.google.com/books?id=iSANAAAAYAAJ&dq=minamoto+kokio&pg=PA504  p. 504]; Brinkley, Frank. (1915). [https://books.google.com/books?id=JlUCAAAAYAAJ&dq=Sanetomo+murdered&pg=PA339  ''A History of the Japanese People from the Earliest Times to the End of the Meiji Era'', p. 339]; and Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1962). [https://books.google.com/books?id=0gweAAAAMAAJ&q=Sanetomo+murdered  ''Sovereign and Subject'', p. 140.]  Alternately, Sanetomo's death is recorded as January 27, 1219 according to [[Jeffrey Mass|Mass, Jeffrey P.]] (1995). [https://books.google.com/books?id=ijyj-9lHNigC&dq=Sanetomo+murdered&pg=PA157  ''Court and Bakufu in Japan: Essays in Kamakura History'', p. 157]; Kamiya, Michinori (2008). ''Fukaku Aruku - Kamakura Shiseki Sansaku.'' Vol. 1, pp. 17-23; Mutsu, Iso (2006). [https://books.google.com/books?id=lr1-AAAAIAAJ&q=Sanetomo+murdered  ''Kamakura: Fact and Legend,''] p. 103. Japanese Wikipedia identifies [[:ja:源実朝|Sanetomo's death]] as February 13, 1219.</ref> A new shōgun was not to be named for several years during which the Kamakura bureaucracy nevertheless continued to function without interruption.
* '''1220''' (''Jōkyū 2, 2nd month''): The emperor visited the [[Iwashimizu Shrine]] and the [[Kamo Shrines]].<ref>Titsingh, p. 236.</ref>
* '''May 13, 1221''' (''Jōkyū 3, 20th day of the 4th month''): In the 11th year of Juntoku''-tennō''{{'}}s reign (順徳天皇11年), the emperor abdicated; and the succession (''senso'') was received by eldest son who was only 4 years old. Shortly thereafter, [[Emperor Chūkyō]] is said to have acceded to the throne (''sokui'').<ref>Titsingh, p. 236; Brown, p.343; Varley, p. 44; a distinct act of ''senso'' is unrecognized prior to [[Emperor Tenji]]; and all sovereigns except [[Empress Jitō|Jitō]],  [[Emperor Yōzei|Yōzei]], [[Emperor Go-Toba|Go-Toba]], and [[Emperor Fushimi|Fushimi]] have ''senso'' and ''sokui'' in the same year until the reign of [[Emperor Go-Murakami|Go-Murakami]].</ref> The reign of Emperor Chūkyō spans a small number of months.
* '''July 29, 1221''' (''Jōkyū 3, 9th day of the 7th month''): In the 1st year of what is now considered to have been Chūkyō''-tennō''{{'}}s reign (仲恭天皇1年), he abruptly abdicated without designating an heir; and contemporary scholars then construed that the succession (''senso'')<ref>Varley, p. 44.</ref> was received by a grandson of former [[Emperor Go-Toba]].<ref>Brown, p. 344; Titsingh, p. 238.</ref>
* '''1221''' (''Jōkyū 3''): The [[Jōkyū War]] (''[[Jōkyū no ran]]'') was an armed attempt by [[Emperor Go-Toba]] and his supporters, trying unsuccessfully to take power from the Kamakura bakufu.<ref name="nussbaum431"/>
* '''January 14, 1222''' (''Jōkyū 3, 1st day of the 12th month''): [[Emperor Go-Horikawa]] acceded to the throne (''sokui'').<ref>Titsingh, p. 95; Brown, p. 344; Varley,  p. 44.</ref>
