The term 'Bushi no choja' (leader of samurai families) used for Yorinobu's grandson MINAMOTO no Yoshiie ("Chuyuki" - diary of FUJIWARA no Munetada) had the same meaning and Yoshiie's descendant (Kawachi-Genji (Minamoto clan)) was specifically called 'Tenka daiichi buyu no ie' (a peerless family of bravery). |
頼信の孫・源義家が称された「武士之長者」(『中右記』)も同様の意味であり、義家の子孫(河内源氏)は特に「天下第一武勇之家」と呼ばれた。 |
