Sōma clan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In this Japanese name, the family name is "Sōma".

The Sōma clan (相馬氏) was a Japanese clan of Mutsu Province which was famous for its actions during the 16th century Sengoku Period.

Claiming descent from Taira Masakado, the family was politically important from the early Nanbokucho Period on, especially as supporters of Ashikaga Takauji.[1] Due to this connection to the man who became the first Ashikaga shogun, they became powerful fairly quickly, and by the Sengoku Period were a focal point of regional authority in southern Mutsu, northern Hamadōri of present day.

The first daimyō of Nakamura was Yoshitane's son, Sōma Toshitane.[2]

In the Boshin War, during the reign of the daimyō Tomotane, the Sōma clan were signatories to the pact that formed the Ōuetsu Reppan Domei.[3]
