What is known
S9The other half of it.
S44Champion of the Ikoma, and the intended husband — a man of about fifty, against a Champion in her prime. Matsu Maro says his personal feelings are not what the war is about. He was also not the one who negotiated the territorial concessions, and said himself he would not have made that bargain.
S48The Ikoma daimyō, and the groom. He was already married and was made to divorce his wife for this match, and then Shinjo Altansarnai refused him — humiliated by his own clan and hers in turn. Akihito conceded that the man who should have protected his bride's honour was the one who injured her.
S51His marriage to Asako Ikari was agreed between two clans — the father of Akodo Arasou and Akodo Toturi, and a lord of the Phoenix — with a dowry. Only one clan appears to have commanded the divorce, no Imperial petition appears to have been made, and nobody can yet name the Phoenix lord who authorised it. On the face of it he may still be married.
