Sanada Nobuyuki
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sanada Nobuyuki (1566-1658) (真田信之), was a Japanese noble who lived during the Sengoku period. He was the son of daimyo Sanada Masayuki and the older brother of Sanada Yukimura.
During the Battle of Sekigahara, he was sent by his father to fight on the side of Tokugawa Ieyasu, against whom Masayuki and Yukimura were fighting. After the Western Army was defeated by Ieyasu, Nobuyuki used this position to save his father and brother's lives.
He married a Tokugawa princess, Ina, making Nobuyuki the son-in-law of Honda Tadakatsu and Tokugawa. In 1622, he became the first lord of the Matsushiro clan.
