(July 16, 1830 – July 5, 1904) was a Japanese daimyo of the late Edo period, who ruled the Tanakura and then Kawagoe Domains. He served as ''gaikoku bugyō'' and ''rōjū'' in the Tokugawa administration. ==Biography== Matsudaira Yasuhide was born in Edo to the high-ranking hatamoto Matsudaira Yasuzumi;〔Yasuzumi was the head of a branch family of the Matsui-Matsudaira, a collateral branch of the Tokugawa family〕 his childhood name was Mantarō. He succeeded Yasuzumi upon the latter's retirement early in 1848, taking the name of Yasunao. Yasunao served in a variety of minor posts in the Tokugawa shogunate, before being appointed to the concurrent posts of gaikoku bugyō and Kanagawa bugyō in early 1860. From 1860 to 1861 he was involved in boundary negotiations with Russia, and was a member of the Tokugawa Shogunate's embassy to Europe. Yasunao was adopted as the successor to Matsudaira Yasuhiro,〔Head of the main Matsui-Matsudaira family.〕 lord of the Tanakura Domain, in late 1864. Shortly after his succession, he received the title of ''Suō no Kami'' and changed his name to Yasuhide. Yasuhide was slated for transfer to the Utsunomiya Domain in the spring of 1865; however, this was canceled. Soon afterward he was appointed to the position of rōjū. In 1866, he was again slated for transfer, this time to the Shirakawa Domain; however, because of the current ruling family's financial situation, this move was also canceled; Yasuhide was instead moved to the Kawagoe Domain. In Kawagoe, he is remembered for having opened the domain's school, the Chōzenkan (長善館). Yasuhide was relieved of his duties as rōjū during the disintegration of the Tokugawa government in early 1868. After the start of the Boshin War, he was briefly ordered into solitary confinement by the Meiji Government for a month in the spring of 1868; the next year, he retired in favor of his adopted heir, Yasutoshi. |- 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 Yasuhide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
