Matsudaira Mochiaki (松平 茂昭, 17 September 1836–25 July 1890) was a Japanese daimyo of the late Edo period. He was the last head of the Fukui Domain in Echizen Province.[1]
Daimyo
Mochiaki first ruled the Itoigawa Domain. He was adopted by Matsudaira Yoshinaga.[citation needed]
When Yoshinaga gave up his title and power, Mochiaki became the head of the Fukui Domain.[1]
Meiji period
After the daimyo were abolished, he was made an Imperial governor of Fukui.[2]
Mochiaki was made a member of the new Meiji aristocracy (kazoku). He was created a count; and he was promoted to marquis in 1888.[3]
