Let´s assume that there are two neighboring clans and clan B marries a daughter to clan A? This daughter is the eldest daughter of clan B´s leader and he has no sons. This daughter´s husband is the clan leader of clan A and they will have a son. Then, let´s skip some 18 years. The leader of clan A dies and his eldest son, now 18 inherits his position. Now, the grandson of clan B´s leader is the leader of clan A? Let´s assume that the grandfather mortally ill. Is it possible that his grandson will inherit him unifying these two clans? Can the grandson manipulate the clan elders of clan B to choose him to be the next leader of the clan B?
I know that was very rare in Japan but I ask is this kind of merger possible? I also ask what kind of inheritance laws there will be in Sengoku? How much power does the clan leader have appointing his successor? I know that Takeda Nobutora wanted to have that his younger son would be the next clan leader. His elder son, Harunobu ousted him from the power and was the next clan leader of the Takeda clan. Takeda Harunobu is better known as Takeda Shingen.
The leader of a clan was forced to flee from his lands and was sheltered by his vassal, Nagao Kagetora. Kagetora agreed to shelter his master in a condition that he will be appointed as the successor of his overlord. In this way, Kagetora became the leader of both Uesugi and Nagao clans. Nagao Kagetora is better known as Uesugi Kenshin.
I wonder if that kind of tricks are possible in Sengoku? I think that would give a new dimension for plotting if that would be possible.
