Toshitsune was the 4th son of [[Maeda Toshiie]]. He was adopted as heir by his elder brother [[Maeda Toshinaga|Toshinaga]] and became [[daimyo|daimyô]] of the [[Maeda clan]] in [[1614]]. He led men against the defenders of [[Osaka Castle]] and fought at the [[Battle of Tennoji|Battle of Tennôji]] ([[1615]]). He retired in [[1639]] and was succeeded by his son Mitsumasa while placing a younger son, Toshiharu, in charge of the recently created [[Daishoji han]] and his 3rd son Toshitsugi in Toyama. By this point the Maeda clan had become one of the most powerful daimyô houses in Japan.
