genealogy
- Junkei ( 順慶 ; 1549–1584) was first called Fujikatsu ( 藤 勝 ), then Fujimasa ( 藤 政 ). When he took over his father's property, a large number of his samurai were obliged to serve in the army of the then very powerful daimyo Matsunaga Hisahide . In order to be able to offer resistance, he placed himself under the protection of Oda Nobunaga , after which he was no longer molested. When Hisahide revolted against Nobunaga, junkei was ordered to besiege him in his castle on the Shigi-san ( 信 貴 山 ). He conquered the castle and received the Yamato Province as a reward . - After Nobunaga's death, he joined Akechi Mitsuhide , with whom he was related. He marched with his troops to Yamazaki to take part in the battle. However, when he realized the strength of the troops that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was leading into the field on the other side , he held his troops back on the Horigatake and observed the course of the battle. When Hideyoshi was victorious, he switched sides and thus contributed to Mitsuhide's defeat. This behavior led to the nickname "Junkei, der Wetterwendische" ( Hiyorimi Junkei ). Hideyoshi reduced his income to 70,000 koku despite the move .
- Sadatsugu ( 定 次 ; † 1615) was a nephew whom Junkei adopted as heir in 1571. After his uncle's death, he received Ueno Castle in Iga Province with an income of 200,000 koku from Yamashiro and Ise provinces . In 1585 he joined Hori Hidemasa ( 堀 秀 政 ; 1553-1590) on his campaign against the monks of Negoro Monastery , in which the monks were killed and the temple complex was lost to a few buildings due to fire. In 1600 he joined Tokugawa Ieyasu when this Uesugi Kagakatsu ( 上杉 景 勝 ; 1556-1623) war. He then took part in the Battle of Sekigahara on Ieyasu's side . Accused by his vassals of misconduct, he was deposed and exiled to Matsuyama, Iyo Province , in 1608 . In 1615 he was asked to do seppuku . Sadatsugu was baptized by Alessandro Valignano in 1592 .
