Ise Sadamune

Japanese: 伊勢貞宗 - いせ・さだむね

Year of death: October 28, 1509 (December 9, 1509)
Year of birth: Bun'an 1 (1444)
A shogunate official in the Muromachi and Sengoku periods. Son of Sadachika. Ranked Shichiro, Hyogo no Kami, Bitchu no Kami, and Ise no Kami. Junior Fourth Rank, Lower. Buddhist name Tsuneyasu. After his father was overthrown in the Bunsho Coup (1466), he succeeded the family and became the steward of the government in 1471. At the time, the finances of the shogunate and the Shogun's household property were controlled by Ashikaga Yoshimasa's wife, Hino Tomiko, so Sadamune had little authority, but as was customary, he was put in charge of raising the heir, Yoshihisa, and after Yoshihisa came of age, his influence gradually expanded. Even after handing over the stewardship to his son Sadamitsu in 1490, he continued to wield hidden influence as Yoshihisa's guardian, and in September 1493, he cooperated with Tomiko, Hosokawa Masamoto, and others to dismantle the Yamashiro Province uprising, paving the way for the despotic rule of Masamoto's government.

室町・戦国時代の幕府吏僚。貞親の子。七郎,兵庫頭,備中守,伊勢守。従四位下。法名常安。文正の政変(1466)で父が失脚したのち家を継ぎ,文明3(1471)年政所執事に就任。当時幕府財政と将軍の家産は足利義政の妻日野富子が掌握していたので貞宗の権限は小さかったが,慣例により世子義尚の養育に当たり,義尚成人後は漸次権勢を拡大した。延徳2(1490)年に息貞陸に執事を譲ってのちもその後見として隠然たる勢力を振るい,富子,細川政元らに協力して明応2(1493)年9月には山城国一揆を解体させ,政元政権の専制化に道を開いた。
