Japanese: 元和(日本)9年（1623年）、松平定綱が遠州掛川藩より3万5000石で入ったことにより、淀藩が立藩した。
English: The Yodo Domain was established to protect Kyoto as a replacement for the Fushimi Domain, which had been abolished the year before.
Japanese: これは、先年に廃藩となった伏見藩に代わって、新たに京都を防備するために立藩されたのである。
English: This castle was, it is to be noted, in a different place to the Yodo Castle known as the residence of Lady Yodo (Hideyori TOYOTOMI's real mother).

Japanese: そして尚征は寛文9年（1669年）2月25日に丹後国宮津藩に移され、代わって伊勢亀山藩より石川憲之が6万石で入った。

English: Norisato MATSUDAIRA was a daimyo (Japanese territorial lord) who earned exceptionally rapid promotion from acting keeper of the Osaka Castle to become Senior Councillor of the Tokugawa shogunate due to the patronage of Yoshimune TOKUGAWA.
Japanese: 松平乗邑の場合は大坂城代代行の立場から、徳川吉宗に見出されて老中にまで異例の栄進を遂げて入ってきた大名である。
English: The Inaba clan had large territories with a yield of 102,000 koku, but they were spread not only throughout Yamashiro Province but also the Settsu Province, the Kawachi, the Omi, the Shimousa, and the Echigo, with the one Yamashiro Province said to be worth less than 20,000 koku.
Japanese: 稲葉氏は、10万2000石という大領ではあったが、その所領は山城のほかに摂津国・河内国・近江国・下総・越後などに分散しているという不安定さで、山城にあった所領は2万石にも満たなかったと言われている。
English: Due to this spread of territory, the financial basis of its administration was fragile, it was hard to secure sufficient labor, and the domain was in financial difficulty.
Japanese: このため、藩政においても財政基盤の脆弱さから人夫の徴発さえままならず、財政は苦しかった。
English: Masanobu INABA, the seventh lord of the domain, moved the territory of Echigo Province to Izumi Provnice and the Omi in 1784, and as the result, the territories of 102,000 koku were spread over eight Provinces, which brought about a contrary effect on its financial situation.
Japanese: 第7代藩主・稲葉正のぶは天明4年（1784年）に越後の所領を和泉国や近江国に移したが、これにより所領10万2000石は8カ国に分散することとなり、全くの逆効果を招いた。
English: Many successive lords of the Inaba clan were short-lived, and four of them died in quick succession during the Kyoho era.
Japanese: また、稲葉氏の歴代藩主は短命な者が多く、享保年間には4人の藩主が相次いで死去している。
English: The most prominent figure among the lords of the Inaba clan was Masakuni INABA, the twelfth (and last) lord.
Japanese: ちなみに、稲葉氏の歴代藩主の中でもっとも有名な藩主は第12代（最後）の藩主・稲葉正邦である。
English: Becoming Roju (Senior Councillor of the Tokugawa shogunate) twice amid the upheavals of the end of the Edo period, Masakuni served in an effective manner with Katsukiyo ITAKURA and Nagamichi OGASAWARA.
Japanese: 正邦は幕末期の動乱の中で老中を二度務め、板倉勝静や小笠原長行らと共に活躍した人物である。
English: However, when Nagamichi and Katsukiyo fought in the Battle of Hakodate, faithful to the Tokugawa shogunate to the end, the Yodo Domain under the rule of Masakuni refused point blank to open the gate of Yodo castle when the shogunate troops who had been betrayed by Takayuki TODO and routed in the Boshin War of 1868 asked for shelter (Masakuni was in Edo Castle at the time).
Japanese: しかし、長行や勝静らが函館まで転戦し、最後まで幕府に忠義を尽くしたのとは違い、この正邦は慶応4年（1868年）の戊辰戦争において藤堂高猷の裏切りにより敗走する幕府軍兵が淀城に入城しようと保護を求めてきたとき、淀藩ではそれを一方的に拒否して城門を開こうとすらしなかった（藩主・正邦はこの時江戸城にいた）。
English: This made it certain that the shogunate troops would be completely defeated at the battles in Kyoto during the Boshin War.
Japanese: このため、戊辰戦争における幕府軍の京都戦線での敗北は決定的となったと言われている。
English: Later, Masakuni and Takayuki were despised as 'treacherous dogs' by both the Tokugawa shogunate and the new government.
Japanese: 後に正邦は高猷と並んで「裏切り者の犬」として幕府側からも新政府側からも侮蔑された。
English: Masakuni was put under house arrest by the new government in March, 1868, but was forgiven and assigned to guard Kyoto in April.
Japanese: 正邦は新政府の命令で同年3月に謹慎処分となったが、閏4月には許されて京都警備を任されている。

Japanese: 翌年の版籍奉還により藩知事となり、明治4年（1871年）の廃藩置県で免官。
English: The Yodo Domain was abolished, and its territories were incorporated into the corresponding prefectures.
