Changes

On 9 October [[1539]] Shigetomo stormed Momotsugi in a night raid and earned himself both the castle and the respect of [[Shimazu Takahisa]]. By the end of the year Shigetomo had taken a number of Sanehisa's forts (including Hirasa, Kuma no sho, Miyasato, Tazaki, and Takea) and taken the [[Iriki-In clan]] to a place of prominence within Satsuma. Over the next few years, however, relations between Shigetomo and Shimazu Takahisa soured, and rumors flew that Shigetomo was plotting a rebellion, even though Shigetomo's younger sister was the wife of Takahisa and mother of the Shimazu heir, Yoshihisa. In [[1544]] Shigetomo died, and shortly afterwards Takahisa took Koriyama Castle, ending the brief Iriki-In 'golden age'. Shigetomo's successor, Shigetsugu, managed to restore favor with the Shimazu and the Iriki-In would fight under the Shimazu banners in Yoshihisa's efforts to conquer Kyushu, abroad in Korea, and at [[Battle of Sekigahara|Sekigahara]].
