Tokugawa Tadateru, also known as Matsudaira Tadateru, was the seventh son of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]]. His mother was [[Ocha no Tsubone]]. Despite being only a child, he was married to the daughter of [[Date Masamune]] in [[1599]]. He was later adopted by [[Matsudaira Yasutada]] and received a 180,000 ''[[koku]]'' fief in [[Shinano province|Shinano]] (Sakura).
In [[1605]], he was sent to meet with [[Toyotomi Hideyori]], as part of formal social audiences surrounding the appointment of [[Tokugawa Hidetada]] to the position of Shogun. Since Hideyori could not pay a formal visit to Hidetada, for fear of it being seen as an admission of inferior status, and for fear of perhaps even being captured, Tadateru instead went to him, in [[Osaka castle]].<ref>Morgan Pitelka, ''Spectacular Accumulation'', University of Hawaii Press (2016), 93.</ref>
In [[1610]] Tadateru received the fief of [[Takada han|Takada]] in [[Echigo province]], worth 620,000 ''koku''. Following a scandal during the [[Siege of Osaka Castle]], to which Tadateru had come only tardily, he was accused of plotting against Hidetada and lost his lands. He eventually settled in [[Suo province]], where he lived in obscurity to an advanced age, the last of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Ieyasu’s]] sons to pass away.
