Information About

Matsudaira Hirotada




Hirotada was the son of Matsudaira Kiyoyasu (7th head of Mikawa Matsudaira clan) and an unknown lady, probably the daughter of Aoki Kaga no Kami Norimune. He was known in his childhood as Senshōmaru, '''Senchiyo''', and '''Jirōzaburō'''. A relatively unknown figure himself, he was nonetheless the father of Matsudaira Takechiyo , who would later change his name to Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川家康), founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate .
