Preceded By
Indirect per Hideyoshi's own cited lead: Ieyasu displaced Hideyoshi's son and named successor Toyotomi Hideyori at Sekigahara in 1600, two years after Hideyoshi's own death, rather than succeeding Hideyoshi directly. Recorded here as the conventional third-unifier succession (Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, Ieyasu) with the indirection stated rather than implied.
