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>
