The Honda ( Japanese 本 多 氏 , Honda-shi ) were a branched family of the Japanese sword nobility ( Buke ), which was derived from the Northern Fujiwara ( 藤原 北 家 , Fujiwara hokke ). They made a number of smaller and smaller Fudai daimyo of the Edo period .

genealogy

The family tree begins with Fujiwara no Kanemichi ( 藤原 兼通 ; 925–977). This was followed after ten generations by Honda Sukehide ( 助 秀 ), Sukesada ( 助 定 ), Sukemasa ( 助 政 ), Sadamichi ( 定 通 ), Sadatada ( 定 忠 ), Sadasuke ( 定 助 ), Suketoki ( 助 時 ), Suketomo ( 助 豊 ), Tadatake ( 忠 高 ), all of which were nicknamed Heihachirō ( 平 八郎 ) and finally Tadakatsu ( 忠 勝 ).

  • the Yasushige line,
  • and the Tadatsugu line.
