Military leader for nearly 700 years (6)

I believe the answer is:

shogun

(Other definitions for shogun that I've seen before include "Old Japanese military ruler" , "Old Japanese hereditary army commander" , "Heredity commander of Japanese army" , "Hereditary army commander in feudal Japan" , "Japanese head" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
