− | Nobumitsu was a younger brother of [[Oda Nobuhide]] and held [[Moriyama castle]] in [[Owari province]]. He was one of Nobuhide's most important retainers, fighting alongside him in the [[First Battle of Azukizaka]] ([[1542]]) and later assisted his nephew [[Oda Nobunaga|Nobunaga]] in the capture of [[Kiyosu]] ([[1544]]) and [[Muraki]] ([[1554]]). He died suddenly in 1555, though just how is a matter of speculation. One theory holds that he was murdered by [[Sakai Magohachiro|Sakai Magohachirô]], possibly on Nobunaga's orders. | + | Nobumitsu was a younger brother of [[Oda Nobuhide]] and held [[Moriyama castle]] in [[Owari province]].
