Akechi Mitsuhide It is not clear when Tsumaki Hiroko, who has many mysteries of birth, died, just like Tsumaki Hiroko. All she knows is the samurai of Mino, Hirotada Tsumaki . Was born as the eldest daughter of.
In the future, Kirin will come Maybe, but 1545 It is said that Mitsuhide was married at the age of 15 when he was in his 20s.
Akechi Mitsuhide and Tsumaki Hiroko's love love episode
As a pre-marriage episode of the two, Tsumaki smallpox after engagement A tragedy struck that infected her, left a mark on her, and spoiled her beauty. Tsumaki Hiroko, who was afraid of breaking her engagement, gave her a younger sister, Yoshiko, who looked exactly like her, but she saw it and disregarded her appearance and married Tsumaki.
Because of such an episode, I think that Tsumaki desperately supported Mitsuhide when he left the Saito family and became unemployed.
It was the turn of the Ronin and non-income Mitsuhide to host the Renga party, but when she was having trouble with her entertainment expenses, Tsumaki cut off her beautiful black hair and sold it to entertain the party. Costs It seems that it was done.
Mitsuhide was grateful for the measure, and he continued to love her throughout her life and never had her concubine or concubinage.
The Renga was a meeting with the Asakura family, and for the next 10 years, Asakura Yoshikage Since she served under the scenery, Tsumaki also made a chance to get a new job at the Asakura clan.
It is doubtful that Mitsuhide was a vassal of the Asakura clan in the first place, but it is said that Tsumaki and Mitsuhide were a serious couple of mutual love.
Year when Tsumaki Hiroko was born
Tsumaki was born in 1530 and 1534 There are two theories.
These two are past books left in Saikyoji Is 1530 It was written in Akechi Gunki Is 1534 It is the theory that is said.
In the meantime, it is believed that she was born in the early 1530s. If she was born in 1534, she would be the same age as Nobunaga Oda.
Born in the same way as the Akechi family, Mr. Toki, who is a guardian of Mino, Mr. Tsumaki Is considered to be. Her name is [ Tsumaki Hiroko ] And [ Tsumaki Hiroko ], But women who express their surnames and names in this era are extremely rare, [ Nohime ] And [ Yodo ] Was given a name.
Her daughter [ Hosokawa Gracia ] Became famous, and it is believed that her surname and name notation became established in her mother.
Previously, Maki and Princess Fushiya There was a theory that it might be called, but even though Kirin comes, Omaki is her mother So, it seems that another female theory is influential for Princess Fushiya.
Marriage of Akechi Mitsuhide and Tsumaki Hiroko
Since they are half-life with many mysteries, the time of marriage is uncertain.
In light of Mitsuhide's common-sense personality and the customs of the Warring States period, it is speculated that Tsumaki might have married in his teens.
As I wrote in Mitsuhide's article before, if Mitsuhide's age at the time of the Honnoji Incident was 55, the age difference between the two would be about 5 years old, so Tsumaki 15 years old, Mitsuhide 21 years old > I think it wasn't about the same marriage.
Toshiie Maeda If there is an unusual age difference like this, it is not strange that some historical materials remain, so it can be said that the marriage relationship is settled in common sense to the extent that it is not talked about.
Marriage also supported Mitsuhide, who had a hard time until 1568, when he left the Saito clan and lived in the Asakura clan. ..
It seems that the two of them were always acting together, so if you follow Mitsuhide's actions, you might be able to follow Tsumaki.
Oda Nobunaga's vassal era
Mitsuhide, who served Nobunaga Oda, was 1571 . Thanks to the siege of Mount Hiei, Omi Sakamoto was given a territory, and Tsumaki moved there. Around 1568 Was associated with Nobunaga through Yoshiaki Ashikaga, but in 1573 [ Battle of Makishima Castle ] When Yoshiaki Ashikaga was expelled from Kyoto, it was officially collected.
[Mitsuhide and Tsumaki's movement]
- Married around 1540 ~ 1550
- Before 1556 Mino (serving the Saito family)
- After 1556, Mino was chased and taken care of by Mr. Echizen and Asakura
- 1568 Joraku in honor of Yoshiaki Ashikaga
- In 1571 she moved to Omi Sakamoto Castle
- Tsumaki Hiroko's death theory in 1576 (there is also a description of her survival in 1579)
- 1582 Honnoji Incident
It is said that Mitsuhide did not have a concubine ...
It is said that Mitsuhide, who loved Tsumaki deeply, did not set up her concubine because this setting was made in his creations as a virtue that tends to be written as a traitor. The pre-marriage and black-haired episodes mentioned above are all highly likely to be created because they are sourced from military sources and secondary sources.
However, the lord of the time, Yoshida Kanemi The primary historical material " Kanemi Sir " ], There is a description that makes me think that there were multiple women in addition to Tsumaki Hiroko.
As I mentioned in the article by Nobunaga Black Company the other day, 1576 Mitsuhide collapses in the team attacking Osaka and wanders alive and dead. The author, Yoshida Kanemi, was also in the priesthood, so he was in charge of praying for the cure of the illness.
It is written that Mitsuhide was able to recover safely because of Kanemi's prayer, but in the same year, Tsumaki also fell ill.
This description is often adopted in a favorable context as a proof of Mitsuhide's beloved wife, but if you compare the content related to this description with other historical materials, interesting content comes to mind. increase.
It was Mitsuhide had two or more wives and a concubine It is a theory that it may be.
It is the description about the death of Tsumaki Hiroko that I wrote earlier.
Saikyoji's " Past Book ] Has the following description.
[ Akechi Mitsuhide's wife died on November 7, 1576 ]
Is written, " Sir Kanemi 』, As of October 24, the same year, it is stated that his wife's illness is improving, and if Mitsuhide is a wife alone ...
Tsumaki is getting better on October 24th (Sir Kanemi), but she died in November. (Past book)
It becomes.
If she died in November for the better in October, it's puzzling that Sir Kanemi didn't mention her death. Moreover, according to Akechi Gunki, [ Tsumaki Hiroko was 45 years old in 1579. ] There is also a description.
1576 Tsumaki Hiroko, who should have died in 1579 It is written in the Akechi military history that it is alive.
It is doubtful that this Akechi military record has historical value, but it is not uncommon for the condition to suddenly change and die during the Warring States period, but if there were two or more wives and concubines. Then, I think the above question fits nicely.
There is another basis for this theory, which is Mitsuhide's child third son and fourth daughter . Is clearly unfounded to be a child of Tsumaki That is the point. Hosokawa Gracia said earlier that he was a child of Tsumaki, but even she has no clear evidence that Tsumaki is her mother.
It seems that it has been pointed out that the family tree of the Akechi family itself also contains obvious contradictions and confusion.
It is possible that Mitsuhide was a single wife, but it is also possible that he had multiple wives as part of the Sengoku era.
It is true that Mitsuhide's evaluation is often a traitor because of his rebellion against Nobunaga at Honnoji, but his evaluation has changed over time. Mitsuhide's personality and abilities have also been attracting attention, and in conjunction with the re-evaluation, the Akechi family and his wife, Tsumaki Hiroko The focus has been focused on.
It has less historical materials than Nohime (returning butterfly), and since it is a traitor of the Akechi family, the actual situation is not clear, but in the future [ Kirin will come ] I wrote it as a reference when looking at it.
