Since Junshi was called 'Sugawara no kimi' ("Yamato Monogatari" (Tales of Yamato)), there is an theory that Junshi's mother was SUGAWARA no Tomoko, who was a kokyu (wife, possibly a court lady called koi) of Emperor Koko and a daughter of SUGAWARA no Koreyoshi, and she was adopted by Emperor Uda later. |
また、順子は「菅原の君」と呼ばれていたことから(『大和物語』)、光孝天皇の後宮(更衣 (女官)か)で菅原是善の女である菅原類子を順子の母と擬定し、のちに宇多天皇の養女になったとする見解がある。 |
