The Chiga Sea Forces (3)

When Ieyasu fought Sekigahara War against the Toyotomi Clan in 1600, the Chiga Sea Forces fought against Kuki Sea Forces and drove them out of Chita Peninsula in Owari Province. After Ieyasu’s victory of the war, the family settled at Morozaki, the southernmost tip of the peninsula. When Tokugawa Yoshinao (1600-1650), Ieyasu’s 9th son, moved to Owari Province and started the Owari Tokugawa Family, one of the three most important branch family of the Tokugawa Clan, the Chiga Family became a vassal of Yoshinao, and was appointed as the commissioner for the sea forces.
