Tokuhime

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Note that Tokuhime refers to the daughter of Oda Nobunaga, born in 1559; Toku Hime refers to the daughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu, born in 1565

Tokuhime (徳姫, Tokuhime^?) or Princess Toku (November 11, 1559 - February 16, 1636) was born the daughter of Japanese daimyo Oda Nobunaga.

There is little historical data on Princess Toku, but we do know that she was married to Tokugawa Ieyasu's five year old son, Nobuyasu in 1563, when she herself was only five years old. Her marriage was politically motivated and was used to seal an alliance between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga.
