Tokuhime
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Note that Tokuhime refers to the daughter of Oda Nobunaga, born around 1558; Toku Hime refers to the daughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu, born in 1615
Tokuhime or Princess Toku was born the daughter of Japanese daimyo Oda Nobunaga and his concubine Kitsuno. The dates of her birth are unclear however it is estimated that she was born in the year 1558.
There is little historical data on Princess Toku, however we do know that she was married to Tokugawa Ieyasu's five year old son, Nobuyasu in 1563 when she herself was only five years old. Her marriage was obviously politically motivated and was used to seal an alliance between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga.
The date of her death is unknown.
