genealogy

  • Naoyori ( 直 頼 ; 1538–1613) served Toyotomi Hideyoshi , who entrusted him with the supervision of the Yamasaki Castle and gave him the title Suruga no kami . In the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 he fought against Tokugawa Ieyasu . This banished him to Aizu, but soon pardoned him and gave him the Han Asō ( 麻 生 藩 ) in 1604 with an income of 30,300 koku . In Asō, Naoyori built a permanent house ( jin'ya ) on the east side of the Kasumigaura Lake on a protruding headland , in which he and his descendants resided until the Meiji Restoration .
  • Naosada ( 直 定 ; 1562–1618) was Naoyori's son and successor to the now reduced to 27,300 koku fief, since his younger brother Naofusa ( 直 ebenfalls ) also received 3000 koku land. He took part with his son Naoyoshi ( 直 好 ; 1599–1662) in the winter and summer campaign of the siege of Osaka .
  • Naotoki ( 直 時 ; 1626–1677), Naofusa's son, was adopted by Naoyoshi as his successor, since his son Naonori ( 直 矩 ; 1660–1676) was still a minor. On the orders of the shogunate, he had to surrender 7,000 koku to Naonori. After Naonori came of age in 1674, the shogunate insisted that Naonori received his birthright and thus the fief, with Naotoki 7000 koku land being given as compensation. However, Naonori died two years later and the fiefdom expired briefly. However, the shogunate allowed Naotoki with his 7,000 koku and another 3000 koku from an inheritance to set up Asō again with 10,000 koku. Naotoki's line thus formed the main line of the family, which after 1868 carried the title Vice Count.
