*** Sanada Sandai ki Clan ***
The Sanada (Japanese 真田氏, Sanada-shi) were a family of the Japanese sword nobility (Buke) who came from the Shinano province and who traced their roots back to the Seiwa-Genji. With an income of 100,000 koku, the Sanada residing in Matsushiro were among the larger Tozama daimyō of the Edo period.
The Japanese name Minamoto (Japanese: 源) was an honorary name that Tennō gave to their sons and grandsons in the Heian period (794–1185) after they left the imperial family and became Tennō's subjects.
In order to simplify the imperial succession and keep the rivalries for the throne within tolerable limits, princes who were not eligible as heirs to the throne or who were far behind in the line of succession were given a surname and made subjects of the Tennō. The Minamoto as well as their rivals, the Taira, were such descendants of the imperial dynasty.
The name Minamoto was first given by the Saga-tennō. In 814 the Tennō gave his sons who were not entitled to inherit the title (Kabane) Minamoto no Ason. With this, she and her descendants ceased to be members of the Imperial Family. The Tennō Seiwa, Murakami, Uba and Daigo also gave their sons the name Minamoto.
Yukitaka (幸隆, 1513–1574) , son of Unno Munetsua, settled in Sanada at the beginning of the 16th century and adopted this name.
Masayuki (昌幸, 1544–1608) , Yukitaka's son, first served Takeda Shingen, who entrusted him with Ueda (Shinano) Castle. After the defeat of the Takeda in 1582, he turned to Tokugawa Ieyasu, but wanted to take his domain away from him in order to give it to Hōjō Ujinao, who had helped him form an alliance against Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Masayuki, angered, asked Uesugi Kagekatsu for help, and defeated both Ujinao and Ieyasu. In 1586 Ieyasu besieged Ueda, but Masayuki was able to make peace with the support of Hideyoshi. At the Battle of Sekigahara, he sided with Ishida Kazushige, but sent his eldest son, Nobuyuki, to side with Ieyasu. After the defeat, Masayuki was sentenced to death, but his son was able to avert the sentence. Masayuki was exiled to Kudoyama (Kii Province) , where he then died.
Nobuyuki (信之, 1566–1658) , Masayuki's eldest son, was taken to Hamamatsu as a hostage after his father's subjugation. Ieyasu gave him the daughter of Honda Tadakatsu, whom he had trained, as his wife. In the Battle of Sekigahara, he fought on the side of Ieyasu and received the castles of Ueda and Numata (Kōzuke Province) with an income of 65,000 koku. In 1622, Nobuyuki was transferred to Matsushiro (Shinano) Castle with 100,000 koku. He and his descendants ruled there until the Meiji Restoration.
Nobushige (信繁, 1567–1615) , second son of Masayuki, better known today as Yukimura, married a daughter of Ōtani Yoshitaka. He served Hideyoshi. In 1600, he tricked his father into competing against Ieyasu. After the defeat he was also banished to Kudoyama. When Ieyasu faced Toyotomi Hideyori, he summoned Nobushige, but he refused, went to Osaka and did much to defend the castle. He defeated Date Masamune at Hirano, attacked Honda Tadatomo, but ultimately met his death on the battlefield.
The Seiwa Genji (Japanese: 清和源氏) were the most successful and powerful branch of the many branches of the Minamoto clan. Many of the most famous Minamoto warriors, such as Minamoto no Yoritomo, founder of the Kamakura shogunate, descended from this line. The family is named after Emperor Seiwa, the grandfather of Minamoto no Tsunemoto, the Seiwa patriarch Genji.
