Siege Of Ueda

The Siege of Ueda was staged in 1600 by Tokugawa Hidetada, son of the warlord Tokugawa Ieyasu, against Ueda castle in Shinano province, which was controlled by the Sanada family. Hidetada came across the castle as he marched his army along the Nakasendō from Edo to rendezvous with his father's forces.
