Nobukatsu gave the territory of Ueno to his fourth son Nobuyoshi, and he himself owned 28,000 koku of Yamato as a retirement territory. When Nobukatsu died in 1630, the fifth son Takanaga inherited the territory of Yamato. After that, it continued with Nagayori and Nobutake, but there was confusion in the domain and Nobutake committed suicide (Uda Kuzure). Respected for being Nobunaga's bloodline, the inheritance of the family estate to Nobutake's son, Nobukyu, was allowed, but the territory was reduced to 20,000 koku and transferred to the Tanba-Kashiwabara Domain. The treatment that was treated as a national lord was also stripped at this time. The Uda-Matsuyama Domain was abolished afterwards.
