==History== The clan claimed descent from different origins including the Uda Genji, and the Kudara no Konikishi clan from Paekche.<ref name="nobilaire35"/> As their founder, the clan specifically claimed descent from the famed 14th century Kamakura period warrior Kojima Takanori. In another instance, the clan claimed that the legendary Silla prince, Amenohiboko was in fact their founder.
At the start of the Sengoku period, the Miyake were based in northern Mikawa Province, and were hereditary enemies to the neighboring Matsudaira clan. However, under the leadership of Miyake Masasada, the clan submitted to the Matsudaira in 1558.
Masasada's son Yasusada (1544–1615) served as a general in the armies of Tokugawa Ieyasu. After the creation of the Tokugawa shogunate, he was appointed ''daimyō'' of Koromo Domain, a 10,000 ''koku'' fief in Mikawa Province in 1604.<ref>[http://www2.harimaya.com/sengoku/html/m_miyake.html 三宅氏 at Harimaya.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160328000526/http://www2.harimaya.com/sengoku/html/m_miyake.html |date=2016-03-28 }} {{in lang|ja}}</ref>
Miyake Yasunobu (1563–1632) was transferred to the 20,000 ''koku'' Ise-Kameyama Domain in 1615.<ref name="nobilaire35"/>
The Miyake moved to Tahara Domain (12,000 ''koku'') in southern Mikawa Province in 1664, where they remained until the Meiji Restoration.<ref name="nobilaire35"/>
The final ''daimyō'' of Tahara Domain, Miyake Yasuyoshi (1831–1895), served as ''guji'' to the Kunōzan Tōshō-gū under the Meiji government. He was made a viscount (''shishaku'') in the ''kazoku'' peerage system.
