History
The Yūki claim descent from Fujiwara no Hidesato.[2]
The clan is composed of two branches: the Shimōsa Yūki and the Shirakawa Yūki.[2] The split happened during the Nanboku-chō period. One branch supported the Southern Imperial Court, and the other branch the Northern Pretenders.
Like many samurai clans, the Yūki developed a code of provincial laws (bunkoku-hō). In 1556, Yūki Masakatsu published New Laws of the Yūki family (結城氏法度 Yūki-shi Hatto?).[3]
The Shirakawa branch was destroyed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi;[2] but the Shimōsa branch survived as daimyo of Yūki Domain in Shimōsa Province.
The Shimōsa Yūki became part of the Tokugawa clan.[2]
The main samurai vassals of the Yūki (Yūki shi-ten) included the Tagaya clan, the Mizutani clan, the Yamakawa clan and the Iwakami clan.[4]
