Early life

Ietada was the eldest son of Matsudaira Koretada, who was the head of the Fukōzu branch of the Matsudaira clan. Ietada served Tokugawa Ieyasu from a young age.,[1]

He fought in many of Ieyasu's campaigns, including against Takeda Katsuyori,[1] and the 1572 Battle of Mikatagahara.[2]

In 1590, Ietada was granted Oshi Domain (100,000 koku) in Musashi Province. He was transferred to Kashira Domain in 1592 and to Omigawa Domain in 1594.[1]

In 1599, he was given command of Fushimi Castle near Kyoto.[1]

He was killed fighting with Ishida Mitsunari at the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600.[1]

Ietada is known for his journal, Ietada nikki (家忠日記), which he kept for the 17 year interval between 1575 and August 1594.[3]
