Biography
A son of Date Tanemune, the fourteenth hereditary head of the Date Clan in Mutsu Province. Harumune's childhood name was Jiro (次郎). Harumune was intended to become head of the clan upon his father's death. However, Tanemune's method of consolidating power through the political marriages of his children led to the Tenbun War (天分の乱), a revolt led by Harumune. At first, Tanemune had the advantage but Harumune ultimately succeeded his father as leader of the clan. Harumune then moved to Yonezawa and worked to settle the aftermath of the war.[2]
