was a ''hatamoto'', and later a daimyō during mid-Edo period Japan. ==Biography== Matsudaira Suketoshi was the second son of Honjō Munesuke, the daimyō of Kasama Domain in Hitachi Province. On October 10, 1684, he joined the ranks of the ''hatamoto'' in direct service to the Shogun and at the end of 1691 was allowed to assume the courtesy title of ''Aki-no-kami'' and Lower 5th Court Rank. On the death of his father in 1699, he became daimyō of Kasama Domain and head of the Honjō clan. Receiving Lower 4h Court Rank at the end of 1701, he was granted an additional 20,000 ''koku'' of territory in (Bitchu Province), bringing his total revenues to 70,000 ''koku''. He was transferred to Hamamatsu Domain (Tōtōmi Province) in September 1702. On March 23, 1705, Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi permitted him to take the surname of Matsudaira, with the reward extended posthumously to cover his father as well. His courtesy title also changed to ''Bungō-no-kami'', and later to ''Hōki-no-kami''. Although Suketoshi was married and had several concubines, by whom he had numerous sons, on his death, he was succeeded by his wife’s brother, whom he had adopted as his heir. His grave is at the temple of Tōkai-ji in Shinagawa, Tokyo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matsudaira Suketoshi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
