Princess Teishi (禎子内親王, Teishi Naishinnō, August 15, 1013 – February 3, 1094), also known as Yōmeimon-in (陽明門院), was an empress consort of Emperor Go-Suzaku of Japan. She was the second cousin of her husband.

Life[]

She was the third daughter of Emperor Sanjō and the mother of Emperor Go-Sanjō. In 1023, she had her coming of age ceremony, and was elevated to the title of First Princess. In 1027, she married her second cousin, the Crown Prince.

Empress[]

In 1036, when her husband became Emperor, she was made his Secondary Empress, and promoted to Principal Empress the following year. In 1037, however, Fujiwara no Genshi, daughter of Fujiwara no Yorimichi, was made Secondary Empress and became the Emperors favorite, and Teishi was no longer allowed to enter the Inner Imperial Palace.^[1] This soured relations between Teishi and Yorimichi. In 1039, Geishi died, and Teishi was allowed back to the Imperial Palace.^[2]

Later life[]

In 1045, her husband died. Teishi was given the title Grand Empress in 1052, and Senior Grand Empress in 1068.^[3]

In 1069, her son succeeded to the throne, and Teishi retired from court and became a nun under the name Yōmeimon-in. ^[4]
