* '''August 23, 1155''' (''Kyūju 2, 24th day of the 7th month'')<!-- NengoCalc 久寿二年七月二十四日 -->: In the 14th year of Konoe''-tennō''{{'}}s reign (近衛天皇14年), the emperor died; and despite an ensuring dispute over who should follow her as sovereign, contemporary scholars then construed that the succession (''senso'') was received by a younger brother, the 14th son of former-[[Emperor Toba]].
