Career
Tadaharu was first famed for his wise rulership of Takatō. However, his rule soon became oppressive, especially after he killed seven of his senior retainers who admonished him. Many of the peasants from Takatō fled to Tokugawa-controlled tenryō territory in 1654.
In 1663, while serving at Osaka Castle, Tadaharu was murdered by his doctor Matsui Jukaku.
The family headship was passed to Tadaharu"s eldest son Tadanori.
