Biography

宋忠(?—1399年),籍貫不详。明朝政治人物。

生平

洪武末,为锦衣卫指挥使。曾经为伸冤,被御史弹劾。明太祖朱元璋称其为人请命无罪。后被佥都御史刘观弹劾,担任凤阳中卫指挥使。洪武三十年,平羌将军齐让征西南夷无功,宋忠担任参将,跟从杨文讨伐。回师后,再次担任锦衣卫。建文元年,担任都督在开平屯兵,与徐凯屯兵的临清,耿瓛屯兵的山海关互为犄角。张昺、谢贵打算捉捕燕王朱棣时,宋忠亦率兵到北平。后未至而燕军兵发,居庸关失守,于是退保怀来。后为激励手下将士斗志,称他们的家属都被燕军屠灭,但朱棣得知后,故意让宋忠部下将士的家人为前锋,宋忠部下将士知道被骗,失去斗志,宋忠仓促布阵,不成列,燕軍一舉渡河,宋忠所部潰敗。其躲在厕所,被搜捕诛杀。

其子宋谦,当时十六岁,任镇南卫指挥使。建文四年(1402年)朱棣夺取帝位,九月,以宋谦充军,继而赐死。
