Sagae

The Sagae were an Ōe family branch based at Sagae estate in Dewa Province. Ōe Chikahiro retired there after supporting the defeated imperial side in 1221.

The family supported the Southern Court, but after defeat at the Urushikawa in 1368, Ōe Toki'uji made peace with the Ashikaga in 1373. The family took the Sagae name and made Sagae Castle its seat. In 1584 Mogami Yoshiaki attacked the castle and Sagae Takamoto killed himself, ending the main line's rule.
