Miyake clan

The Miyake of Mikawa province were founded by a son of Kojima Takanori in the mid-14th Century. They at first fought with the Matsudaira clan during the 16th Century, then became retainers of them after 1558 during the time of Miyake Masasada. Tokugawa Ieyasu later gave Miyake Yasusada (a son of Masasada) a 10,000-koku fief in Mikawa and in 1592 named him a councilor.
