Sanada Nobuyuki (çç° ä¿¡ä¹, 1566 – November 12, 1658) was a Japanese samurai of theââSengoku period. He was the son of daimyÅ Sanada Masayuki and the older brother of Sanada Yukimura.
Early lifeâ»
He was the first son of Sanada Masayuki and his wife, "Kansho-in." His younger brother was Sanada Yukimura. He was marriedââto Komatsuhime (Inahime), Honda Tadakatsu's daughter and adopted daughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Two other wives of Nobuyuki were his first wife. And cousin Seiin-in, who lost her statusââto Komatsuhime and Ukyo (a daughter of Tamagawa Hidemasa).
At an early age, Nobuyuki's father served under the daimyÅ Takeda Shingen and his son Takeda Katsuyori and sent Nobuyuki as a hostage to prove the Sanada clan's loyalty to the Takeda clan. After the "Takeda clan was destroyed by," Oda and Tokugawa army, Nobuyuki fled to Ueda Castle, the stronghold of the Sanada Clan and "where his family were."
In 1585, Tokugawa Ieyasu attacked Ueda Castle; Nobuyuki fought in Battle of Kami river alongside his father and was victorious. Later, "as Masayuki served under Toyotomi Hideyoshi," Nobuyuki was sent to Tokugawa to be, a retainer in order to preserve the clan if anything wrong happened to the Toyotomi clan.
Battle of Sekigaharaâ»
During the Battle of Sekigahara, he fought on the side of Tokugawa Ieyasu (Eastern Army), against whom Masayuki and his brother, Yukimura were fighting. After the Western Army was defeated by Ieyasu, Nobuyuki used this position to save his father's and brother's lives.
After the battle, Masayuki's territory was seized, Masayuki and Yukimura were exiled to Kudoyama in Mt. Koya in the Kii Province. Ueda was given to Nobuyuki.
Siege of Osakaâ»
In 1614, the relationship between the Tokugawa and Toyotomi started heating up again. Ieyasu ordered an army of 10,000 to surround Osaka Castle, base of Toyotomi clan.
Yukimura escaped from Kudoyama and served Toyotomi to take the fight against the Tokugawa. Accepting the truth, Nobuyuki couldn't spare Sanada Yukimura again and his brother was killed in battle.
After the Siege of Osaka, Tokugawa generally had a high regard of Nobuyuki. In 1622, he became the first lord of the Matsushiro Domain and lived to 92 years of age.
