Fujiwara no Ishi

Fujiwara no Ishi (藤原威子) (999–1036) was the Empress consort of Emperor Go-Ichijō of Japan.

She was the third daughter of Fujiwara no Michinaga. In 1018, at the age of nineteen, she married her ten-year-old nephew the Emperor and became Empress (Chugu), and thus the third of her sisters to become Empresses in succession, all in marriages arranged by their father the regent. [1]
