Also, there were cases such as the Imperial Prince Tamehira and the Imperial Prince Atsuyasu, who had the advantage over the succession to the Imperial Throne, but they had to give up and they were granted Ippon as a compensation (A case of conferring Ippon to the Imperial Prince Kaneakira [MINAMOTO no Kaneakira, former Minister of the Left] can be said as a similar case that he had to return to the Imperial Family because of the Fujiwara clan's strategy.)
また、為平親王や敦康親王のように皇位継承において優位だった親王が皇位を断念せざるを得なくなった代償に授けられるケースが生じた（藤原氏の策動で皇籍に復帰させられた兼明親王（元左大臣源兼明）の一品叙位も近似の例と言える）。
