Japanese: 足利氏、織田氏、豊臣氏、徳川氏と多くの主君に仕えながら細川氏を生き延びさせた政治手腕の反面、身内の者にも容赦を加えない苛烈な側面もあり、関ヶ原の合戦中、実父の細川幽斎が居城を敵に明け渡した（詳細は田辺城の戦いの項を参照のこと）ことから一時不和になっている。
English: Tadaoki also excelled in information warfare, something which may be linked to his being one of the most cultured men of his day and having frequent interaction with a great number of intellectuals and court nobles.
