genealogy
- Nobushige ( 信 重 ; 1522–1586) served the Tsutsui in Iga Province .
-
Shigemasa ( 重 政 ; 1574-1630) joined Toyotomi Hideyoshi , who gave him Futami Castle in Harima Province in 1587 . In 1600 he was transferred to Gojō ( Yamato Province ) with 25,000 Koku and then in 1615 to Shimabara Castle with 60,000 Koku. In 1624 some of his ships were driven south by the wind until they landed on Luzon . There they exchanged information with the residents that Shigemasu thought it would be good to equip an expedition there. To the shogunate, whose permission he needed, he claimed that he would be as successful as Shimazu Ichisa, who had defeated the kingdom of the Ryūkyū Islands 20 years earlier . It appears that Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu gave his consent to the enterprise, but Shigemasa died prematurely.
- Katsuie (勝 家 ; 1597–1638) ruled the Shimabara domain so tyrannically that the Shimabara rebellion cameabout. After the uprising was put down, he was deposed andexiledto Tsuyama in Mimasaka Province . There he received the order from the shogunateto commit seppuku .
- Shigetoshi ( 重利 ), Katsuie's brother, was exiled to Takamatsu ( Sanuki Province ).
