Sengoku Series: Episode 11.5 - Epilogue: The Madness of Hideyoshi

In this video I talk about Ieyasu, Oda Nobuo and the Komaki campaign, as well as the possibility that Toyotomi Hideyoshi went insane in his last years, perhaps due to syphilis.

I think it also should be mentioned there was significant doubt on Hideyoshi`s paternity with both of Yodo`s children. In particular, it is assumed by most that Hideyori was not sired by Hideyoshi. While some have argued that Ishida Mitsunari could have been the father (and thus his dedication to the Toyotomi house) a great deal of evidence points to Ono Harunaga (a very minor daimyo) for the following reasons....They (Ono and Yodo) grew up together. They even shared the same wet nurse. Also, after Hideyoshi`s death, Ono was effectively Yodo`s common law husband....Finally, both Ono and Hideyori were over 6 feet in an era where Japanese men probably avereged 5 and half feet in height
