The Minamoto clan was at first united in their battle against the rival clan of Taira. After Yoshinaka was given the title 'Asahi Shogun' (Daylight Shogun), he began to develop several unhealthy ambition to set up a government in his own name, and even seized the Emperor Go-Shirakawa and burnt down his palace. His main brother Yoritomo did not approve, and sent out his two other brothers, [[UsefulNotes/MinamotoNoYoshitsune Yoshitsune]] and Noriyori, to punish Yoshinaka with death. The morality of Yoshinaka's actions weren't put on Tomoe's considerations, as far as she's concerned, she's got her duty as his wife to protect and support Yoshinaka.

The Minamoto clan was at first nominally united in their battle against the rival clan of Taira. After Yoshinaka was given managed to beat the main line (headed by Yoritomo) to Kyoto in defeating the Taira, he sought to improve his political standing with the Imperial Court, even ending up with the title 'Asahi Shogun' (Daylight Shogun), he began to develop several unhealthy ambition to set up a government in his own name, and even seized the Shogun). However, with Emperor Go-Shirakawa clearly expecting a more pliable puppet, they easily fell out--with Yoshinaka holding the Emperor hostage and burnt burning down his palace. His main brother Yoritomo did not approve, and Yoritomo, sensing the opportunity to regain momentum with the Court, sent out his two other brothers, [[UsefulNotes/MinamotoNoYoshitsune Yoshitsune]] and Noriyori, to punish Yoshinaka with death. The morality of Yoshinaka's actions weren't put on part of Tomoe's considerations, as considerations--as far as she's concerned, she's got her duty as his wife to protect and support Yoshinaka.
