It is clear that the Muromachi dono (the Shogun) did not completely lose his authority to grant the keryo ando after the Onin War and the Meio Coup, from this two following facts: (1) when Haruyoshi NIJO and Haresuke KAJUJI disputed the Inoie sho manor in Kaga Province at the end of the reign of the Muromachi shogunate, despite the Emperor Ogimachi's decision to provide an ando guarantee to Haresuke, the Shogun Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA neglected this imperial decision and provided the ando to Haruyoshi on the grounds that Haresuke had supported the previous shogun Yoshihide ASHIKAGA, (2) Nobunaga ODA who backed up Yoshiaki issued shuinjo (a shogunal license for foreign trade which was bearing the scarlet seal of the shogun) to the kuge nobles in response to Yoshiaki's 'gyo' and 'gogeji' (shogunal directive).
応仁の乱・明応の政変以後も室町殿による家領安堵の権限が完全には失われていなかったことは、(1)室町幕府最後の時期に加賀国井家荘を巡って二条晴良と勧修寺晴右が争った際に正親町天皇が晴右に安堵する裁決を下したにも関わらず、将軍足利義昭が晴右が前将軍足利義栄の支持者であったことを理由に勅命を無視して晴良に安堵したこと、(2)義昭の後ろ盾である織田信長から公家に対する朱印状が義昭の「仰」「御下知」に従って発給されていたことからも理解できる。
