In part as a result of this connection, around [[1545]], at age 15, Sôrin married Chikakata's sister, a woman known to us today only by her epithet in [[Jesuit]] records, as "[[Otomo Nata Jezebel|Jezebel]]." Chikakata later adopted the second son of Sôrin and "Jezebel," [[Otomo Chikaie|Ôtomo Chikaie]], as his own heir, and later their third son, [[Otomo Chikamori|Ôtomo Chikamori]], as well. Another of Chikakata's adopted sons, [[Tawara Chikatsura]], created a scandal among the Ôtomo and Tawara families when he converted to [[Christianity]].
