Date Masamune (3015 words) |
| Date Masamune, as a vassal of Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598) and then the first Tokugawa shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616), added greatly to the lands held by the Date family (including the huge and rich Sendai domain). |
| The power of the chief line of the Date family was greatly weakened in 1660's by an internal succession struggle which saw the assassination of one member of the family and the arrest and imprisonment (by the shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna) of two of the family’s heads (including the reigning daimyo Date Tsunamune). |
| The eldest son of Date Terumune (1544-85), the lord of Yonezawa Castle (in the modern Yamagata Prefecture), Masamune contracted smallpox as a child and almost died. |
