− | | + | Ranmaru was the third son of [[Mori Yoshinari]] and was born at [[Kanayama castle]] in [[Mino province|Mino]]. In his youth he became a favored page of [[Oda Nobunaga]], who was impressed by the boy's bearing and intelligence. While named the lord of [[Iwamura castle]] in Mino in [[1582]], he was at the side of Oda Nobunaga when the latter was attacked by [[Akechi clan|Akechi]] troops at [[Honnoji]] in June 1582. Nagasada is thought to have assisted Nobunaga in committing suicide before perishing, though this is impossible to know for certain. Two of Nagasada's younger brothers, [[Mori Nagataka|Nagataka]] and [[Mori Nagauji|Nagauji]], were also Nobunaga's pages and died at Honnoji as well. |
