Date Sōdō
The Date Sōdō (伊達騒動), or Date Disturbance, was a O-Ie Sōdō, noble family dispute within the Date clan, Date samurai clan, which occurred in 1671.

Ten years of violence and conflict followed in the domain, reaching a climax in 1671 when Aki Muneshige, a powerful relative of the Date, complained to the Tokugawa shogunate, shogunate of the mismana ...
