==Notable clan members==
==History==
Fujiwara no Sumitomo's nephew, Fujiwara no Naozumi, was assigned a small fief in the province of Hizen, where he moved near the village of Ōmura around the year CR 944. Ōmura around the year CE 944. During the [[Kamakura Period]] they consolidated their power in the area. At the end of the [[Ōnin War]] and the Sonogi peninsula was divided into a myriad of small fiefdoms and the Ōmura fought for domination. In CE 1474, the neighboring [[Arima clan]] inflicted a significant defeat on Ōmura Sumiyoshi and later exerted considerable influence on the Ōmura clan. With the advent of the [[Sengoku period]] the family lost a lot of influence and they were expelled from the area for six years (from CE 1474 to 1480) by [[Arima Takajuni]] and [[Arima Haruzumi]] put his son at the head of the clan by putting ''end''' to the Ōmura blood line. Ōmura Sumitada was one of the first [[daimyō]] to be [[baptized]] and remained faithful to his own religion until his death.
His descendants sided with [[Ishida Mitsunari]] during the [[Campaign of Sekigahara]], but despite the defeat they managed to maintain the government of their own fiefdom, with an annuity of 28,000 ''[[koku]]'', until the [[Meiji Renewal|Meiji Restoration]].
