==Yamazaki==

Unfortunately, Hideyoshi learned of the assassination before the Môri, and signed a peace treaty with that clan. This allowed him to force-march back east at a rapid pace, catching Mitsuhide off guard. Mitsuhide and Hideyoshi clashed at [[Battle of Yamazaki|Yamazaki]] and though the former fought bravely, his troops were defeated. Mitsuhide himself was killed while attempting to make his way to [[Sakamoto castle|Sakamoto]], which was held by his nephew, Hidemitsu ([[1560]]-[[1582]]). Soon afterwards, Sakamoto was reduced by [[Hori Hidemasa]] ([[1553]]-[[1590]]).

According to some accounts, Mitsuhide killed himself, with his head being recovered by some of his retainers, who buried it at a site near [[Chion-in]] in Kyoto, where a small set of stones and plaques still mark the spot today.<ref>Plaque at site of Akechi Mitsuhide no tsuka, Kyoto.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/45695550105/sizes/l]</ref> Soon afterwards, Sakamoto was reduced by [[Hori Hidemasa]] ([[1553]]-[[1590]]).  

While Akechi would become one of the most famous men in Japanese history, if only for his treachery, the exact causes for his dramatic attack on Nobunaga, and what he hoped to accomplish once this was done, will most likely remain a mystery.
