Kyōgoku Tadataka

Kyōgoku Tadataka (京極 忠高, 1593–1637) was a Japanese noble and the daimyō and head of the Kyōgoku clan (京極氏, Kyōgoku-shi) of Japan during the Tokugawan power grab of the early 17th century.

[1] During this campaign, he successfully led a flanking maneuver against the defenders of Osaka Castle in the Shigino area northeast of the castle together with Ishikawa Tadafusa and fellow clan member Kyōgoku Takatomo.

[2] Later from 1620 to 1629, Kyōgoku Tadataka is recorded as having spent ninety two thousand koku on the re-construction of Osaka Castle.

[4] In 1607, he married the fourth daughter of Tokugawa Hidetada, a marriage which did not produce any heirs.

However, the bakufu acted to continue his line by posthumously designating Kyōgoku Takakazu as an heir.
