Miyoshi Triumvirate (三好三人衆)

A group of advisors, Miyoshi Nagayuki, Miyoshi Masayasu, and Iwanari Tomomichi, whom Miyoshi Nagayoshi appointed as guardians to his son and heir Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

Their power was considerably weakened after they failed to resist Oda Nobunaga's march on Kyoto in 1566. Iwanari Tomomichi died in battle, and the other two disappeared from history as the power of the Miyoshi Clan declined.
