Matsudaira Katamori was the ninth [[Edo period]] lord of [[Aizu han]], and a prominent figure in [[Bakumatsu period]] politics.
==Kyoto==
Katamori was the sixth son of Lord [[Matsudaira Yoshitatsu]] of [[Takasu han]]. He was adopted by [[Matsudaira Katataka]] of [[Aizu han]] in [[1846]], and became lord of Aizu in [[1852]] upon Katataka's death.
On [[1862]]/int.8/1, he was appointed to the position of Kyoto ''shugo shoku'' (Military Commissioner of Kyoto) and took 1000 Aizu samurai to [[Kyoto]] later that year. While in Kyoto, he made efforts to support the unification of the imperial court and the shogunate (''[[Kobu gattai|Kôbu gattai]]'') and used the [[Shinsengumi]] to maintain public peace.
In summer [[1863]], he succeeded in expelling [[Choshu han|Chôshû han]] lobbyists from the imperial court and gained the trust of [[Emperor Komei|Emperor Kômei]].
In [[1867]], Shogun [[Tokugawa Yoshinobu]] returned political power to [[Emperor Meiji]] and the position of Military Commissioner of Kyoto was abolished.
==The Battle of Aizu==
*''See also [[Battle of Aizu]]''
Katamori left Kyoto during the [[Battle of Toba-Fushimi]] with Shogun Yoshinobu and returned to Aizu. Pro-Imperial troops defeated Tokugawa troops in the [[Battle of Ueno]] and headed north several months later. The domains in the northern provinces then allied together against the pro-Imperial troops which were mainly from [[Satsuma han]] and Chôshû. However some domains went over to the pro-Imperial side; most ultimately surrendered before Aizu did.
==Meiji==
After the [[Boshin War]], Katamori confined himself until [[1872]] and became the chief priest of [[Nikko Toshogu|Nikkô Tôshôgû]] in [[1880]].
Katamori died of pneumonia in [[1893]].
