Life
In 1582, the death of Oda Nobunaga in the Incident at Honnoji left Kai and Shinano Provinces without an overlord, and the struggle between Ieyasu and Hojo Ujinao began. However, at that time, the two had nearly equal strength, and thinking that a serious war would weaken even the winner, they sought peace. As part of the accord, Ieyasu agreed to give Toku to Ujinao to be his wife.
In 1590, Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked the Hojo stronghold at Odawara Castle in the Subjugation of Odawara, eradicating the Hojo as a power. At that time, Ujinao appealed to his father-in-law Ieyasu, who prevailed upon Hideyoshi to spare Ujinao and Toku, sending them to Mount Koya. In the following year, Ujinao died.Princess Toku and Ujinao had two daughters. After Ujinao's death, the princess returned to her father, Ieyasu.
In 1594, Hideyoshi arranged for Toku to marry Ikeda Terumasa. They gave birth to five sons, including Ikeda Toshitaka, Ikeda Tadatsugu and Ikeda Tadakatsu. Tadatsugu became the lord of Okayama Castle at age five, following the death of Kobayakawa Hideaki.
