The medieval period in Oyashima spanned from the 10th century to the [[Oyashima#Sengoku Jidai|Sengoku Jidai]] in the 1450s. It was characterized by the end of the dominance of the nomadic ancestors of the Danehonger peoples and their lifestyle and the rise of the ethnically Mutsutorine kingdoms and empires. | The medieval period in Oyashima spanned from the 10th century to the [[Oyashima#Sengoku Jidai|Sengoku Jidai]] in the 1450s.

The Kon Ninh islands off the Bac Hoa plains have perennially been host to ethnic groups that have moved from the mainland to escape aggressive neighbors. The largest group were the (____) who founded the Den Cai kingdom in 1012 by subjugating or coercing all the groups in Kon Ninh. Due to its low population, the Den Cai kingdom favored diplomacy and trade over exerting direct military force. The kings of Den Cai began relying on the Matsumori dynasty for military protection, establishing a relationship of suzerain and loose client that lasted for decades; second and third daughters of the Den Cai royal line were usually reserved for marriage into the Matsutori dynasty to reinforce the relation. Shogun Hiroji Matsumori would invade Den Cai in 1185 to push forward his nephew's claims (who had a Den Cai royal mother) on the throne. Matsutori rule of the islands was heavy handed and oppressive as mainland culture was forcibly stamped on the local population. The rapid collapse of the Matsumoris in 1204 and the subsequent infighting left them in a very weakened position, alas they held on to the islands as one of their few major remaining territories. | The Kon Ninh islands off the Bac Hoa plains have perennially been host to ethnic groups that have moved from the mainland to escape aggressive neighbors.
