History of the Date Clan

At long last, we will finally be looking at the history of the Date clan, one of the most famous and beloved Samurai families of all time, in large thanks to their iconic leader, Date Masamune. If you would like a say in which clan I cover next, consider supporting the channel on patreon! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources Used: It was particularly hard to find sources regarding the Date outside of a lot of writing about Date Masamune. For much of the information in this video I relied on the Japanese Wiki Corpus and the Samurai Archives. Additional sources include: “Samurai Battles“ by Michael Sharp “Japan Encyclopedia“ by Louis Frédéric “Hideyoshi“ by Mary Elizabeth Berry -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro: Music by: Shawn Head of “Renzoh Flutes“
