Oda family second son: Ise and Owari
Oda Nobukatsu
織田信雄
Second son of Oda Nobunaga who succeeded to the Kitabatake house and was based in Ise Province. After the Kiyosu Conference, he held Owari, and is said to have acted as guardian of the young heir Sanbōshi after Hideyoshi moved him from Gifu to Azuchi. In 1584, he came into conflict with Hashiba Hideyoshi and became one of the principal parties in the Komaki-Nagakute War. The simultaneous existence of multiple succession principles—Nobunaga's sons Nobukatsu and Nobutaka, and the legitimate son of the late Nobutaka—drove the politics after the Honnō-ji Incident.
