Overview

  • Katsuie (勝 家; 1530–1583) was entrusted in 1570 by Oda Nobunaga with the castle Chōkōji (長興 寺 城) in the province of Ōmi , which he had taken from the Sasaki. After the campaigns against the Asai and Asakura , Katsuie received the provinces of Echizen and Kaga in 1579 and settled in the Kita-no-shō castle (now Bug Fukui). In 1582 he attacked the province of Noto , whereupon the three daimyō Yuza (遊 佐), Miyake (三 宅) and Nukui (貫 井) Uesugi Kagekatsu (上杉 景 勝; 1556-1623) asked for help. War broke out and Katsuie's troops were defeated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi at the Battle of Shizugatake . Katsuie was able to retreat to his castle Kita-no-shō, was besieged there by Hideyoshi and Katsuie, who saw himself in a hopeless situation, set the castle on fire and - together with his wife and 30 subjects - took their own lives. Katsuie had previously asked his wife to flee with their daughters. She refused, but entrusted the daughters to a faithful servant who led them safely outside. - The eldest of her daughters, Yodo-gimi, married Hideyoshi, the second Kyōgoku Takatsugu (京 極 高 次; 1560-1609) and the third the later Shōgun Tokugawa Hidetada .
  • Katsutoyo (勝 豊; died 1583), a son of Shibukawa Hachizaemon, was adopted by Katsuie and entrusted by him in 1582 with the Nagahama (Burgmi) castle. He had to surrender to Hideyoshi and died in Kyoto.
  • Katsumasa (勝 政; 1557–1583), a brother of Sakuma Morimasa, was adopted by Katsuie. He fell at the Battle of Shizugatake.
  • Katsuhisa (勝 久; 1568–1583), a nephew of Katuies, was adopted by him. He fought in the battle of Shizugatake and was able to flee to the mountains after the defeat. However, he was persecuted and killed. This ended the line of Shibata.
