Tokugawa Ietsugu was the seventh [[shogun]], reigning from [[1713]] until his death in [[1716]]. He was the fourth son of the previous shogun, [[Tokugawa Ienobu]], but was predeceased by all of his brothers, and thus became the one to succeed their father as shogun.<ref>Evelyn Rawski, ''Early Modern China and Northeast Asia: Cross-Border Perspectives'', Cambridge University Press (2015), 161.</ref>
Ietsugu was a very young child for the duration of his brief rule. He was betrothed at the age of seven, in [[1715]], to [[Yasunomiya Yoshiko]], the two-year-old daughter of [[Emperor Reigen]], but died the following year, before the two were wed.<ref>Watanabe Hiroshi, ''A History of Japanese Political Thought, 1600-1901'', International House of Japan (2012), 153-154.</ref>
