Changes

Nobumori was the son of [[Sakuma Nobuharu]]. He became one of Nobunaga's senior men, although he briefly supported [[Oda Nobuyuki]] in his abortive attempts at rebellion in [[1557]]. He commanded troops at [[Battle of Anegawa|Anegawa]] and was one of the three [[Oda clan|Oda]] commanders sent to assist [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] against [[Takeda Shingen]] in [[1573]]. At the resulting [[Battle of Mikatagahara]], he joined [[Takigawa Kazumasu]] in fleeing before the [[Takeda clan|Takeda]] army. Nobumori and his son Jinkûo were heavily engaged in the siege of the [[Ishiyama Honganji]] from [[1575]] until [[1580]]. Following the surrender of the Honganji, Nobunaga wrote a scathing letter to Sakuma, accusing him of both incompetence and negligence and ordering him to shave his head and give up his lands in Yamato. He and his son thus wandered as beggars, Nobumori evidently dying of starvation or disease sometime between late [[1581]] or early 1582 at or near Mt. Koya.
