genealogy

  • Yoshiharu ( 吉 晴 ; 1543-1611), a son of Yoshisa, served Oda Nobunaga and resided successively at the castles Takama ( Wakasa Province ) and Hamamatsu ( Tōtōmi ) with an income of 60,000 Koku . He was one of the three Chūrō that Hideyoshi had named before his death. After the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, because he had supported Ieyasu, he received Matsue Castle in the province of Izumo with 235,000 koku.
  • Tadauji ( 忠 氏 ; 1577-1604), a son of Yoshiharu, took part in the Battle of Sekigahara. He died before his father.
  • Tadaharu ( 忠 晴 ; 1599–1633), a son of Tadauji, succeeded his grandfather as prince of Matsue. He died with no offspring; his property reverted to the shogunate.

Remarks

  1. ↑ The three Chūrō ( 中 老 ) - in addition to Horio there were the Daimyo Ikoma Chikamasa (1526-1603) and Nakamura Kazuuchi († 1600) - had arbitration functions in Toyotomi's government.
