Nobuhide was born the eldest son of [[Oda Nobusada|Oda Danjô no chu Nobusada]], in [[Shobata castle]] in the Kaito District of [[Owari province]]. He was a powerful figure within Owari province, though not a daimyô in his own right. Rather, he was one of the 'elders' of the Kiyosu branch of the [[Oda clan]]. He had a reputation as a spirited leader and conducted numerous raids into [[Mikawa province|Mikawa]] and [[Mino province|Mino provinces]]. He clashed with the [[Matsudaira clan|Matsudaira]] of Mikawa and fought a series of contests with the [[Imagawa clan|Imagawa]] of [[Suruga province|Suruga]] and [[Totomi|Tôtômi]], highlighted by his victory at the [[first Battle of Azukizaka]] in 1542. He fought with [[Saito Dosan|Saitô Dôsan]] of Mino in [[1547]]-[[1548|48]] and concluded a peace treaty that saw his son Nobunaga married to Dôsan's daughter. His progress in Mikawa, on the other hand, was checked by the Imagawa, who defeated him at the [[second Battle of Azukizaka]] in the spring of 1548, although he was able to secure the Matsudaira's [[Anjo castle]] in [[1549]]. He fell ill and died at [[Suemori castle]] on 8 April 1551 and his funeral was carried out at the Bansyôji. He is remembered as being brave, at times reckless, and intemperate.
