Honda Masazumi

• Born: 1566
• Died: 1637
• Title: Kôzuke no Suke

Masazumi's activities were largely confined to civil affairs and, like his father, he has been accused of being an inveterate schemer. At the end of the Osaka Winter Campaign (1614), it was Masazumi whose men filled in the outer and second moats of the castle, in violation of the peace treaty. He was dispossessed in 1622 and died in Dewa province.
