Biography
In 1599 he was given a 215,000 koku fief in Noto province after his father's death. He sided with Western army, supported Ishida Mitsunari during the Sekigahara Campaign and had evidently plotted to assassinate Tokugawa Ieyasu beforehand. Her brother Maeda Toshinaga sided with Eastern army of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Due to the crisis between the Maeda family, his mother Maeda Matsu went to Edo voluntarily as hostage to prevent the decline of the Maeda clan.
After Mitsunari's defeat, Toshimasa was forced to retreat and surrender his lands to his older brother, Toshinaga. Due to his mother's appeals, Toshimasa was saved from execution and later he was confined to Kyoto and became a monk.
When the Osaka campaign began, Toshimasa was invited to join both sides. However he refused the offers and for this he was offered a reward from Ieyasu, who was also refused.
Maeda Toshimasa died at 55 in Kyoto, and his son Maeda Naoyuki became servant of the Maeda of Kaga province .
