genealogy

  • Masanori ( 正 則 ; 1561-1624) was an adopted son of Fukushima Masamitsu. He first served Hashiba (later Toyotomi) Hideyoshi , who appointed him Sa emon -no-taifu ("Adjutant of the left gate guard ") and then left him Kiyosu Castle with an income of 200,000 koku . After Hideyoshi's death, Tokugawa Ieyasu Masanori's son Masayuki gave his adopted daughter to his wife in order to tie the family to him. In 1600 Masanori besieged and captured Gifu Castle . In the battle of Sekigahara he destroyed the troops of Ukita Hideie ( 宇 喜 多 秀 家 ; 1573–1655). As a reward, Masanori received the Hiroshima Domain with an income of 498,000 koku. In 1610 Masanori was commissioned by Ieyasu to restore Nagoya Castle . He tried everything to escape this ruinous mission, but it was in vain. From then on, relations with Ieyasu deteriorated. At the time of the campaigns against Osaka Castle around 1615, Masanori asked to be allowed to participate in the fight. But Ieyasu ordered him to stay in Edo . Towards the end of his life, Masanori was charged with misconduct in 1619. He had to give up Hiroshima with the associated high income and was transferred to Takaino (Kawanakajima) in Shinano Province with only 45,000 koku, where he was under house arrest in a permanent house ( jin'ya ). With the untimely death of his son Tadakatsu ( 忠 勝 ; 1599-1620), he received another 25,000 Koku from his lands in Echigo .
  • Takaharu ( 高 晴 , also Masayori ( 正 頼 ); 1573-1633), a younger brother of Masanoris, had the honorary title Kamon -no- kami ("office manager for room maintenance") and daimyo at Nagashima Castle in the province of Ise with 10,000 koku . After the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 he was transferred to Uda -Matsuyama ( Yamato Province ) with 30,000 koku. In 1615 he was deposed.
