Ogawa Suketada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ogawa Suketada (小川 祐忠; 1549 – 1601) was a daimyo in Azuchi-Momoyama period and Edo period.

First, Suketada served Akechi Mitsuhide, and secondly, served Shibata Katsutoyo. After Katsutoyo died, Suketada served Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He was given 70,000 koku at Imabari, Iyo Province and became a daimyo.

In 1600 at the battle of Sekigahara, at first he took part in Ishida Mitsunari's force. However, Suketada acted in concert with Kobayakawa Hideaki's betrayal, and changed sides to Tokugawa Ieyasu's force.

But, Suketada had not promised to change sides. Ieyasu was angry at Suketada's betrayal and seized his domain after the battle.
