Often called Suruga Dainagon (the major counsellor of Suruga), Tadanaga was born in 1606. The date of his birth is uncertain, and is variously given as May 7, June 1, and December 3. As a youth, he received support from his mother, Oeyo (or Sūgen'in), who favored him over her other son Iemitsu to become the third shogun. Later, his misconduct resulted in his being stripped of office, and he committed seppuku.
TokugawaIemitsu was born, it is speculated, in 1604 (his exact birthdate is unknown).
In 1615, the main body of the Tokugawa and their allies assaulted Osaka Castle, where Toyotomi Hideyoshi's heir, Toyotomi Hideyori, was living quietly with his mother, his wife (Senhime, Iemitsu's older sister), and their son.
She was succeeded by her younger half-brother (Go-Mizunoo's son, but his mother was not Tokugawa Masako) Emperor Go-Komyo, who heavily disliked the shogunate due to its violent and barbaric ways, at many times making degrading comments to Shogun Iemitsu and his eldest and favorite son and heir, Tokugawa Ietsuna.
TokugawaIemitsu (previously spelled Iyemitsu); 徳川 家光 (August 12, 1604 — June 8, 1651) was the third shogun of the Tokugawa dynasty who reigned from 1623 to 1651.
He was the eldest son of TokugawaHidetada, and thus the grandson of TokugawaIeyasu.
TokugawaIemitsu was born around 1604 (his exact birthdate is unknown).
