The Maeda of Owari claimed Fujiwara descent. They rose to prominince under Oda Nobunaga and then Toyotomi Hideyoshi and by 1598 were one of the most powerful families in Japan, controlling most of the Hokuriku region. Although they lost some of their wealth in the wake of the Sekigahara Campaign, they remained powerful into the Edo Period.
