*''Born: [[1669]]/4/27''
*''Died: [[1684]]/10/27''
Konoe Nobuna was the third child of [[Konoe Motohiro]] and [[Shinanomiya Tsuneko]]. His older siblings were [[Konoe Hiroko]] and [[Konoe Iehiro]].
Nobuna was sickly as a child, and his mother's diary relates a number of occasions of her serious concern for his health. Immediately following his ''[[genpuku]]'' (coming of age) in [[1682]], he was formally adopted by former [[Minister of the Center]] [[Oimikado|Ôimikado]], upon the orders of [[Emperor Reigen]], responding to the childless Ôimikado's desires for a son. He remained chronically ill, however, and returned to his parents' home in [[1684]]/6 as a result of his illness, dying there several months later on 10/27, at the young age of 15.
