茂憲 徳川
Mochinori Tokugawa was born in 1831 in japan. He was the son of lord of the branch clan at Takasu.
His elder brother Yoshikatsu offended the Shogunate and was dismissed from Owari Clan (1858). Mochinori took his place and became Lord of Owari Clan. Unlike Yoshikatsu, Mochinori was too pro-Shogunote in his views, which provoked the antipathy of retainers. Turning over the clan lordship to Yoshinobu, son of Yoshikatsu (1836), he retired.
