Miyazu Domain

Following the Battle of Sekigahara, Tokugawa Ieyasu awarded the entire province of Tango to Kyōgoku Takatomo, who established Miyazu Domain.

This proved to be a wise decision, his grandson Kyōgoku Takakuni was charged with misconduct and poor governance by the Tokugawa shogunate and reduced to hatamoto status in 1666.

After a couple years as a tenryō territory, Miyazu was revived for Nagai Nagayuki, formerly of Yodo Domain.

The 6th daimyō, Matsudaira Munehide served as Kyoto shoshidai, and rōjū during the tumultuous Bakumatsu period.

The domain reluctantly fought for the shogunate during Battle of Toba-Fushimi at the opening of the Boshin War, but switched sides shortly after the defeat of Tokugawa forces.
